Empowerment and embodiment for collaborative mixed reality systems: Empowerment and Embodiment

Pan, Ye; Sinclair, David; Mitchell, Kenny

Abstract

We present several mixed‐reality‐based remote collaboration settings by using consumer head‐mounted displays. We investigated how two people are able to work together in these settings. We found that the person in the AR system will be regarded as the “leader” (i.e., they provide a greater contribution to the collaboration), whereas no similar “leader” emerges in augmented reality (AR)‐to‐AR and AR‐to‐VRBody settings. We also found that these special patterns of leadership only emerged for 3D interactions and not for 2D interactions. Results about the participants' experience of leadership, collaboration, embodiment, presence, and copresence shed further light on these findings.
