Remote presence for guidance on physical tasks

该项目旨在改变物理任务的远程协作。目前用于物理任务的远程协作系统不如面对面工作有效。这可以通过分享非语言线索、设计解释文化问题的系统以及使用一种新的交流模式来克服。本项目将发展基于自然非语言交流线索和文化问题的远程指导理论和互动方法。该项目预计将有利于拥有广泛分布的多元文化劳动力的行业，如采矿、国防和医药。

This project aims to transform remote collaboration on physical tasks. Current systems for remote collaboration on physical tasks are not as effective as working face-to-face. This could be overcome by sharing non-verbal cues, designing systems to account for cultural issues, and using a new model of communication. This project will develop theories and interaction methods for remote guidance based on natural non-verbal communication cues and cultural issues. This project is expected to benefit industries with widely distributed multi-cultural workforces such as mining, defence and medicine.
