Abstract: This paper proposes a method to realize smooth collaboration using a remote MR, which makes it possible for geographically distributed users to share the same objects and communicate in real time as if they are at the same place. In this paper, we consider a situation where the users at local and remote sites perform a collaborative work, and real objects to be operated exist only at the local site. It is necessary to share the real objects between the two sites. However, prior studies have shown sharing real objects by duplication is either too costly or unrealistic. Therefore, we propose a method to share the objects by virtualizing the real objects using Computer Vision (CV) and then rendering the virtualized objects using MR. We have proposed a remote collaborative work system to create a smoother user experience for collaborative work with virtualized objects for remote users. Through experiments, we confirmed the effectiveness of our approach.
