Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a departure fromstandard virtual reality in a sense that it allows usersto see computer generated virtual objectssuperimposed over the real world through the use ofsee-through head-mounted display. Users of suchsystem can interact in the real/virtual world usingadditional information, such as 3D virtual models andinstructions on how to perform these tasks in the formof video clips, annotations, speech instructions, andimages. In this paper, we describe a prototype of acollaborative industrial Tele-training system. Thedistributed aspect of this system will enable users onremote sites to collaborate on training tasks by sharingthe view of the local user equipped with a wearablecomputer. The users can interactively manipulatevirtual objects that substitute real objects allowing thetrainee to try out and discuss the various tasks thatneeds to be performed. Experimental results arepresented.
