Cooperative Mixed Reality: An Analysis Tool

Abstract

While mixed reality scenarios are highly relevant for cooperation support, most work done in this context is on individuals. When working on cooperation support scenarios in MR, we arrived at situations in which we needed insights into the way how people used the technology to work together. To support the investigation of this question, we created a 3D analysis tool for interactive and cooperative task support in MR. The tool and exemplary results from applying to a visual search experiment conducted in a cooperative mixed reality setting with Microsoft HoloLens devices are presented here. We show how it can uncover interaction otherwise not or hard to discover.
