Abstract

We created a mobile asymmetric collaboration system that allows a remote expert to assist a nomadic operative in a maintenance task. We explored the use of a virtual reality headset and several cameras and controls that (1) are easy to setup by the operative on the site, (2) enable the expert to better understand the situation on the site (be more immersed) and (3) offer the expert various flexible interface options to study the environment and to act on the devices on the site independent of the operative. The preliminary results indicate that the expert appreciates the opportunity for 360 degreeview and the flexibility of using detailed controls on a close-up camera view.
