title = "Interactive Mixed Reality for collaborative remote laboratories",
abstract = "In distance learning, remote laboratories (henceforth RLabs), allow students to perform real-time tasks on laboratories over the Internet. However, existing tele-operations systems suffer from both the low fidelity of the representation of the remote site that hosts the instrument, and the lack of {"}group awareness{"} for collaborative learning during online hands-on sessions. In this paper, we discuss how Mixed Reality systems can improve the fidelity of such remote devices and how group awareness can be achieved. A software architecture for collaborative mixed reality for RLabs based on the MPEG-4 BInary Format for Scenes (MPEG-4 BIFS) is also presented.",
