This week research I had more progress on the lit review part than the technical part. I mainly read two more papers to add to our lit review table namely: Using Virtual Replicas to Improve Mixed Reality Remote Collaboration and Avatars for Teleconsultation: Effects of Avatar Embodiment Techniques on User Perception in 3D Asymmetric Telepresence. I have added the analysis of these two to the previous table and simultaneously worked with Brendan to finalize columns for the more precise table. Although, the columns are now finalized I have to make that table for all 6 research papers. Will hopefully do it over the weekend. Apart from that I also found a relevant survey paper published 2023 with a very comprehensive review of technology being used for Remote Assistance and Training in MR: A survey of Remote Assistance and Training in MR. The paper analyzed remote collaboration researches along the following 8 dimensions most of which overlap with the literature review table we are trying to make:
- Degree of collaboration.
- Perspective sharing
- MR space symmetry
- Time
- Input
- Output Modality
- Visual Display
- Application Domain
Furthermore, on the technical side I made two short visits to 4020 studio, couldn’t login to depth kit studio the first time because I didn’t have credentials. The second time although I logged into the software the previous project that the documentation refers to was not in my local account so couldn’t make any progress. I have to consult with Cherelle on how to go about setting up the unity live stream. But there have not been much progress on the technical side
As for courses, my group submitted the mid-term report for social computing this Thursday and is supposed to with user studies in the coming week (using Meta Quest 3 which I just setup and is definitely a device to look forward to ? ). On the other hand, for the blockchain course I have my paper presentation due in the coming week along with 4 paper summaries (not something to look forward to as much)
