Popis: We present a system integrating gesture and live video to support collaboration on physical tasks. The architecture combines network IP cameras, desktop PCs, and tablet PCs to allow a remote helper to draw on a video feed of a workspace as he/she provides task instructions. A gesture recognition component enables the system both to normalize freehand drawings to facilitate communication with remote partners and to use pen-based input as a camera control device. Results of a preliminary user study suggest that our gesture over video communication system enhances task performance over traditional video-only systems. Implications for the design of multimodal systems to support collaborative physical tasks are also discussed.
