Augmented Reality Based Actuated Monitor Manipulation from Dual Point of View

Abstract

The mobile robots are increasingly used in domestic space for room surveillance. However, joystick based controller dose not realize direct and intuitive motion control for monitor. To solve this problem, we propose an augmented reality based interface to control monitor from dual point of view, referring to the third-person view and rear first-person view. In this system, augmented reality models used to represent monitor are superimposed on the dual point of view, which enables users to control each part of actuated monitor intuitively with interaction of augmented reality models on screen. Through augmented reality models, our system realized the concept of user-centered manipulation since the control of target object is described in user’s coordination system. In addition, we carried out a preliminary user study to evaluate our design and the performance of the system, and a positive feedback has been received.
