Integrating AR and VR for Mobile Remote Collaboration

In many complex tasks, a remote expert may need to assist a local user or to guide his or her actions in the local user's environment. Existing solutions also allow multiple users to collaborate remotely using high-end Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) head-mounted displays (HMD). In this paper, we propose a portable remote collaboration approach, with the integration of AR and VR devices, both running on mobile platforms, to tackle the challenges of existing approaches.
