“…The Remote Immersive Diagnostic Examination System, or 'RIDES' (Palmer et al 2007) used a vector laser projector and a pan/tilt/zoom camera mounted independently on a pole in a medical clinic. The remote expert used a video enabled graphics tablet to point and sketch on the video display coming from the pan/tilt/ zoom camera and the 'ink' they would see under their pen was actually the laser projection into the clinic.…”

A worker performing a physical task may need to ask for advice and guidance from an expert. This can be a problem if the expert is in some distant location. In this paper, we describe a system which allows the expert to see the workplace from the worker's point of view, and to draw annotations directly into that workplace using a pico-projector. Since the system can be worn by the worker, these projected annotations may move with the worker's movements. We describe a method for sticking these annotations to the original positions thereby compensating for the movement of the worker. We call this 'StickyLight'. We conducted a user study to evaluate the performance and user preference for the system in 'sticky' and freehand ('non-sticky') modes. We also compared the system on two platforms: helmet mounted and tripod mounted. Results indicate that freehand conditions took less time than sticky, and that tripod conditions took less time than helmet. However, participants reported preferences for sticky over non-sticky, likely due to the relative discomfort of keeping the helmet steady. This echoes the findings of several recent similar investigations..

“…Telemedicine The Remote Immersive Diagnostic Examination System (RIDES), was a partnership between CSIRO and the Royal Children's Hospital, Melbourne (RCH) [Palmer et al 2007]. Where previous telehealth systems had used only a ‗talking heads' style videoconference, RIDES enables a specialist conducting an examination to effectively ‗reach through' the screen.…”

In the process of construction work, taking notes of real world objects like walls, pipes, cables and others is an important task. The ad hoc capturing of small information pieces on such objects on site can be challenging when there is no specialized technology available. Handwritten or hand drawn notes on paper are good for textual information like measurements whereas images are better to capture the physical state of objects. Without a proper combination however the benefit is limited. In this paper we present an interaction system for taking ad hoc notes on real world objects by using a combination of a smartphone and a laserpointer as input device. Our interface enables the user to directly annotate objects by drawing on them and to store these annotations for later reviewing. The deictic gestures of the user are then replayed on a stitched image of the scene. The users voice input is captured and analyzed to integrate additional Information. The user can mark positions and place hand taken measurements by pointing on the objects and speaking the corresponding voice commands.
