Abstract: StreamSpace: Pervasive Mixed Reality Telepresence for Remote Collaboration on Mobile Devices
Bektur Ryskeldiev, Michael Cohen, and Jens Herder. StreamSpace: Pervasive Mixed Reality Telepresence for Remote Collaboration on Mobile Devices, Journal of Information Processing, Vol. 26, No. 1, pp. 177-185, DOI=10.2197/ipsjjip.26.177, February, 2018.
We present a system that exploits mobile rotational tracking and photospherical imagery to allow users to share their environment with remotely connected peers “on the go.” We surveyed related interfaces and developed a unique groupware application that shares a mixed reality space with spatially-oriented live video feeds. Users can collaborate through realtime audio, video, and drawings in a virtual space. The developed system was tested in a preliminary user study, which confirmed an increase in spatial and situational awareness among viewers as well as reduction in cognitive workload. Believing that our system provides a novel style of collaboration in mixed reality environments, we discuss future applications and extensions of our prototype.
