Abstract

We present CoVAR, a novel Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) system for remote collaboration. It supports collaboration between AR and VR users by sharing a 3D reconstruction of the AR user's environment. To enhance this mixed platform collaboration, it provides natural inputs such as eye-gaze and hand gestures, remote embodiment through avatar's head and hands, and awareness cues of field-of-view and gaze cue. In this paper, we describe the system architecture, setup and calibration procedures, input methods and interaction, and collaboration enhancement features.
