Abstract
This paper introduces our LightCollabo system which is a distant collaboration tool designed for manufacturers. For distant collaboration between factory workers and members of a product design team, it is important to support interactive discussion over actual objects. LightCollabo enables remotely located people to share a view of actual objects and to annotate on the objects by using a camera and a projector whose optic axes and view angles are precisely aligned. LightCollabo has been experimentally deployed in several locations in China and Japan and proven to be effective. Initial results of our use case study are also described.
