Abstract
This paper argues how a Mixed Reality-Mediated collaborative design system should be featured after considering co-presence factors. This paper also presents an experiment to examine some of the co-presence factors, with a focus on the image size and viewing distance. The experimental results show that larger images and appropriate viewing distance could bring better sense of being in the Mixed Reality space and participants feel more involved in the design tasks. Therefore, by considering the co-presence factors, higher level of co-presence and better effects in the Mixed Reality-mediated collaborative design system could be achieved.
