Title:

    Enabling Physical Telework with Spatial Augmented Reality

Presenter(s)/Author(s):



Abstract:


    When you think of the professions most likely to telecommute, it is common to envision a white collar knowledge worker, remotely accessing their computer desktop applications and services. While in reality, telework benefits are not limited to knowledge workers.
    We are investigating and developing technologies that can empower a skilled individual in one location, to complete a physical task in another location. Our approach has been to investigate systems that have a relatively unskilled human collaborator local to the task. Here, we present systems that explore this collaborative form of physical telework using applications of Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR).
