| Abstract(in English) | In cases where it is difficult for local staff alone to deal with emergency problems at industrial facilities or construction sites, by using remote work support system, it is possible to receive assistance from experts in remote locations via video/audio two-way communication. Recently, thanks to smartglasses, field workers can look at documents and instructional annotations without taking their eyes off from their work. In many existing systems, the helper can show the annotation to the worker with drawn lines or arrows, but their display in the smartglasses is planar. Therefore it is unsuitable for expressing the depth information or instructing complicated work to the worker. In this research, we have devised a system that can deal with conveying of complicated tasks which involve depth information to the worker by using the hand gestures of the helper. In this system, by using Mixed Reality technology, it is possible to display as if the helper's hand model actually exist in front of the worker. In order to evaluate the usefulness of the proposed system, we conducted comparative experiments on remote work support by instruction annotations using conventional method of drawn lines and the proposed method of by using hand gesture instructions respectively. As a result, no significant difference was found between two methods in terms of the understandability of the instructions, however regarding working time, the hand gesture instructions were shorter by 20 seconds (shortened by 19%) on average than the other. |
