ABSTRACT
This paper describes a new Augmented Reality (AR) system called HoloLens developed by Microsoft, and the interaction model for supporting collaboration in this space with other users. Whereas traditional AR collaboration is between two or more head-mounted displays (HMD) users, we describe collaboration between a single HMD user and others who join the space by hitching on the view of the HMD user. The remote companions participate remotely through Skype-enabled devices such as tablets or PC's. The interaction is novel in the use of a 3D space with digital objects where the interaction by remote parties can be achieved asynchronously and reflected back to the primary user. We describe additional collaboration scenarios possible with this arrangement.
