“…Additional sensors allow for a replication of facial expressions and gaze to avatars, for example, using semi-immersive platforms with a Fishtank VR metaphor [Roth et al 2016c] or an HMD integration [Li et al 2015]. Piumsomboon et al [2018] demonstrated the dynamics of avatars as such with respect to avatar size in symmetric and asymmetric remote collaboration in MR with redirected gaze and gestures. Steed et al [2012] combine both avatar-mediated and telepresence principles to asymmetric communication platforms.…”

“…The environments of local users were captured and reconstructed in a virtual environment, which was shown in the HMDs of remote users. In addition, the remote user's movements were captured and presented as an avatar to local users [5,20,21]. In contrast to these systems using HMD, Pejsa et al used projected augmented reality techniques instead of HMDs to develop a life-sized co-present environment including the complete body of a remote participant for remote communication [22].…”

“…Additionally, although some researchers have investigated the effects of body representation level on social presence in remote collaboration [32], insufficient research exists regarding other aspects relating to manufacturing, such as efficiency, performance, workload, usability, and preference. To this end, in this study, we compared three avatars with different body representation levels, which have been used in remote collaboration/instruction systems: avatar with whole body [1,20,32], avatar with hand and arm [21], and avatar with only hand [1,11,19,37]. Furthermore, we investigated the influence of these avatars with different body representation levels on the quality of remote instruction.…”

In manufacturing, augmented reality (AR)-based remote instruction systems, which enable workers to receive instructions from an avatar, are widely used. In this study, we developed such a system and investigated the effect of the body representation level of the avatar on the quality of AR-based remote instruction. Drawing on the avatar designs of previous works, three different avatar designs (“Hand only”, “Hand + Arm”, and “Body”), representing three body representation levels, were created. In the experiment with a within-participant design, the avatar pointed at blocks sequentially and participants touched each block as soon as they identified it. The results of the experiment indicate that an AR-based remote instruction system with a “Body” avatar exhibits higher usability and can enable the participants to have a lower workload and higher efficiency.

“…The suggested definitions of MR summarized by Speicher and colleagues [8] indicate that collaboration is one of the key aspects used in defining the concept. Piumsomboon and colleagues [9,10], for example, studied the collaboration between the local AR user and remote virtual reality (VR) user.…”

Does Augmented Reality Affect Sociability, Entertainment, and Learning? A Field Experiment

et al. 2020

Augmented reality (AR) applications have recently emerged for entertainment and educational purposes and have been proposed to have positive effects on social interaction. In this study, we investigated the impact of a mobile, indoor AR feature on sociability, entertainment, and learning. We conducted a field experiment using a quiz game in a Finnish science center exhibition. We divided participants (N = 372) into an experimental group (AR app users) and two control groups (non-AR app users; pen-and-paper participants), including 28 AR users of follow-up interviews. We used Kruskal–Wallis rank test to compare the experimental groups and the content analysis method to explore AR users’ experiences. Although interviewed AR participants recognized the entertainment value and learning opportunities for AR, we did not detect an increase in perceived sociability, social behavior, positive affect, or learning performance when comparing the experimental groups. Instead, AR interviewees experienced a strong conflict between the two different realities. Despite the engaging novelty value of new technology, performance and other improvements do not automatically emerge. We also discuss potential conditional factors. Future research and development of AR and related technologies should note the possible negative effects of dividing attention to both realities.
