Popis:	Research has shown that Mixed Presence (MP) systems are a valuable collaboration tool. However current research into MP systems is limited to a handful of tabletop and Virtual Reality (VR) systems with no exploration of Head-Mounted Display (HMD) based Mixed Reality (MR) solutions. In this paper, we present a prototype HMD based MR Mixed Presence system we designed and developed. We conducted a user study to investigate how different role assignment affects coordination and engagement in a group task with two local users using MR HMDs, and one remote user with a desktop-based Augmented Reality (AR) interface. The results indicated that the role of coordinator significantly increased the remote user's engagement with increased usage of visual communication cues. This is further supported by the mental effort and perceived dominance reported by users. Feedback from users also indicated visual communication cues are valuable for remote users in MP systems.
