Mobile based Augmented Reality Application Prototype for Remote Collaboration Scenario Using ARCore Cloud Anchor

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes a development study for mobile based Augmented Reality (AR) application prototype for simple remote collaboration scenario. The AR technology is implemented by using ARCore with cloud anchor into two different mobile devices as the host and client. A host is a user device that able to create and share a session of a camera viewpoint that could be connected with another client device remotely through the internet. For testing purposes of remote collaboration scenario in this application prototype, both users are able to add and manipulate location of virtual objects that overlay on each screen from their own device. Based on the functionality test, before placing the virtual object on the screen, a calibration of cloud anchor is required with minimum success performance in 250 to 1200 lumens of lights. The result for cloud anchor is being hosted with average delay up to 700+ milliseconds. In this paper, the result of the experiment shows an early stage of the utilization of AR technology in simple remote collaboration scenario. However, it shows the potential of mobile based AR technology for future remote collaboration scenario development.
