Spatial Social Media: Towards Collaborative Mixed Reality Telepresence “On The Go”

Published:20 April 2018Publication History

ABSTRACT

Live video streaming is becoming an increasingly popular form of interaction in social media, with mobile devices being used for sharing of remote situation "on the go." We are interested in how such forms of interaction can be applied to mobile telepresence, i.e., a quick and effortless way of "teleporting" users to a remote location, where they can share each others' viewpoints and collaborate. We developed an application that achieves such effect by taking advantage of spatial data inferred from mobile devices' onboard sensors and embeds realtime video streams into panoramic mixed reality displays. To validate our solution we conducted a preliminary study and observed a statistically significant decrease in cognitive workload as well as increase in spatial and situational awareness among users in comparison with a regular videoconferencing application. Believing in the novelty of our approach, we plan to extend our application with environment mapping and empathic interface functionality.
