Distance Impact on Collaboration Quality in Smart Glasses Applications.

This research investigates the effect of the distance between users within the virtual space on collaboration quality in social smart glasses based virtual environments. We developed a Vuzix smart glasses application to enable users to work together on assembling furniture models. Afterwards, we conducted a user study to assess the impact of distance between users on collaboration quality, and the results showed that distance significantly affects collaboration quality. Our prototype could be used as a remote aftersale service, and our findings could aid in designing low-cost Smart Glasses social solutions for productive teamwork.
