ABSTRACT
We design a volumetric communication system for remote assistance of procedural medical tasks. The system allows a remote expert to spatially guide a local operator using a real-time volumetric representation of the patient. Guidance is provided by voice, virtual hand metaphor, and annotations performed in situ. We include the feedback we received from the medical professionals and early NASA TLX [5] data on the cognitive load of the system.

Mixed reality in virtual world teleconferencing
VR '10: Proceedings of the 2010 IEEE Virtual Reality ConferenceIn this paper we present a Mixed Reality (MR) teleconferencing application based on Second Life (SL) and the OpenSim virtual world. Augmented Reality (AR) techniques are used for displaying virtual avatars of remote meeting participants in real physical ...
Merging environments for shared spaces in mixed reality
VRST '18: Proceedings of the 24th ACM Symposium on Virtual Reality Software and TechnologyIn virtual reality a real walking interface limits the extent of a virtual environment to our local walkable space. As local spaces are specific to each user, sharing a virtual environment with others for collaborative work or games becomes complicated. ...
Vision and Graphics in Producing Mixed Reality Worlds
CVVRHC '98: Proceedings of the 1998 Workshop on Computer Vision for Virtual Reality Based Human Communications (CVVRHC '98)This paper introduces prominent topics of our Mixed Reality (MR) project and states what kind of role computer vision and graphics play in the project. MR is a part of VR in broader sense, but it treats the physical space as well as the virtual space ...
