Title:
- SharedSphere: MR Collaboration through Shared Live Panorama
Organizer(s)/Presenter(s):
Description:
SharedSphere, a Mixed Reality remote collaboration system which not only allows sharing of a live captured immersive panorama, but also allows enriched collaboration through sharing non-verbal communication cues, such as view awareness and gestures.
Sharing live 360 panorama video is becoming popular on social networking platforms. This research focuses on further improving shared live panorama based collaborative experiences by applying Mixed Reality (MR) technology. In this demonstration we present SharedSphere, an MR remote collaboration system which not only allows sharing of a live captured immersive panorama, but also allows enriched collaboration through sharing non-verbal communication cues, such as view awareness and gestures. We describe the prototype system and the experience that attendees of Siggraph Asia 2017 will have using the system.
