MARS: A Cross-Platform Mobile AR System for Remote Collaborative Instruction and Installation Support using Digital Twins

Abstract

This paper describes a multi-user, mobile, cross-platform AR system that allows real-time remote collaboration utilizing the digital twinning concept. Thanks to cloud services, the users can collab-oratively manipulate and exchange information using digital twin realized as detailed multi-part 3D models. We also discuss design requirements and task analysis captured using engineering design methodology and the usability verification of our system using a heuristical approach.
