Design and implementation of a remote collaboration application with the use of smart glasses

Abstract

This thesis examines the technology of Augmented Reality (AR) and, more specifically, its role in enhancing remote collaboration through the design and implementation of an application using smart glasses. Initially, an overview of Augmented Reality is provided, describing the basic concepts and exploring the hardware and software that can be used. The study then focuses on remote collaboration and the fields in which it can be applied. It proceeds with an in-depth analysis of the fields and industries where augmented reality can be utilized, highlighting how it increases productivity and offers innovative ways to solve complex problems remotely. Finally, the thesis focuses on the design and implementation of a remote collaboration application in the selected field using smart glasses, presenting the implementation process, the methodologies used, and the challenges encountered during development. The implementation demonstrates how the use of augmented reality (AR) facilitates real-time collaboration, providing users with direct guidance and overcoming the issue of physical distance between them.
