Remote-collaboration System based on Shared Field of View in Real Space - A Study on a Method for Sharing Optical Axis of Camera and Projector

摘要

To share the field-view between remote operator and field worker, we have been developing our remote-collaboration prototype system named SCOPE(Sight COllaboration by Projection Effect) by using a projector unit with a camera. The first version of this SCOPE has an inherent problem; the distance between the projection plane and the SCOPE will essentially misalign the camera's target and the projector's area. To solve this problem, in this report, we propose a newly improved SCOPE in which optical axis of the projector and the camera is structurally identical. A structure of this prototype system and basic experimental results are also shown.
