Using Depth Map as Interface to Predict Collision Risks in Remote Participation Assist System

Abstract

To support the participation in social activities of people who have difficulty going out, it is important to implement a remote participation system in society. In this system, the user experience (UX) itself is an essential purpose. In this study, a visual collision risk alert was developed to improve UX. This alert satisfies the following four required functions: I) quantitative and II) intuitive representation of high-risk obstacles, III) multiple representations in the same image for prediction, and IV) visibility of the image. It is expected that this alert will improve the overall satisfaction of the remote participation experience.
