Abstract

We propose a hyperpresence system designed for broad manipulation of robots and avatars in mixed reality spaces. The idea is to let human users play with robots and avatars through the internet via a mixed reality system interface. We make a mixing between hardware and software platforms for control of multi-user agents in a mixed reality environment. We introduce several new issues (or behaviors) as “Remote Control”, “Augmented Reality” for robots, making robots “Incarnating” avatars and user humans connected through the Internet. A human user can choose which role he/she wants to play. The proposed system involves a complex implementation of heterogeneous software and hardware platforms including their integration in a real-time system working through the Internet. We performed several tests including experiments using different computer architectures and different operating systems, in order to validate the system.
