Mutual Space Representation Standardization for Mixed and Augmented Reality Remote Collaboration

초록

This paper proposes a mutual space representation to support remote collaboration in Mixed and Augmented Reality (MAR) environments. To achieve high immersion and coexistence in MAR remote collaboration, a mutual space based on heterogeneous physical spaces that can be commonly utilized by collaborating participants is required. Although previous studies have proposed various spatial matching and modifying methods to overcome spatial heterogeneity, their different representations have made their integrated use in real-world scenarios difficult. To overcome these limitations, this paper proposes a mutual space representation standard that includes the representation of physical space, matching space, and collaboration context required for mutual space generation and management. We expect that the proposed standards will serve as a foundation for seamlessly applying solutions accumulated in academia to industrial systems, thereby providing users with a more immersive and coexistent MAR remote collaboration experience.
