We present results from research exploring the effect of sharing virtual gaze and pointing
cues in a wearable interface for remote collaboration. A local worker wears a Head-mounted
Camera, Eye-tracking camera and a Head-Mounted Display and shares video and virtual
gaze information with a remote helper. The remote helper can provide feedback using a
virtual pointer on the live video view. The prototype system was evaluated with a formal user

We present results from research exploring the effect of sharing virtual gaze and pointing cues in a wearable interface for remote collaboration. A local worker wears a Head-mounted Camera, Eye-tracking camera and a Head-Mounted Display and shares video and virtual gaze information with a remote helper. The remote helper can provide feedback using a virtual pointer on the live video view. The prototype system was evaluated with a formal user study. Comparing four conditions, (1) NONE (no cue), (2) POINTER, (3) EYE-TRACKER and (4) BOTH (both pointer and eye-tracker cues), we observed that the task completion performance was best in the BOTH condition with a significant difference of POINTER and EYETRACKER individually. The use of eye-tracking and a pointer also significantly improved the co-presence felt between the users. We discuss the implications of this research and the limitations of the developed system that could be improved in further work.
