Exploration Mixed Reality Environment for Teleoperation Interface: An Option to Provide Effective Information

摘要

Mixed reality creates opportunities to enable manipulation of information obtained from a remote location within a virtual environment. A gaming environment, such as Second Life (SL), has similar characteristics with teleoperation interfaces and allows the users to immerse themselves and achieve the flow. This experiment was designed to explore a game environment which provides combined information by enhancing video views within a virtual world. We also explored whether our subjects utilised the information provided by the 3D model as well as the video views. From the experiment we found that all our subjects paid attention to 3D model and video views in all experiment tasks. The result also showed that in a condition where the information provided by 3D model was the same as the video views, all subjects who paid dominant attention to 3D model were able to complete the task. Data questionnaire showed that almost three-quarter of our subjects perceived that they need very short to moderate time to get familiar with the interface. In conclusion, augmented video views within gaming environment can be used to provide information and all subjects paid their attention to both sources of information, even though most of them paid attention predominately to video views.
