Abstract

In general, virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) are technologies used to overcome the limitations of space and time in human communications. Currently, VR and AR companies are mostly developing contents for a single user. However, it is expected that there will be a need for sharing experiences among two or more users in a VR/AR environment. In this paper, we investigate the trends in remote collaboration technologies for VR/AR that allow two or more users to share video, voice, and gestures, as well as emotions. We will also discuss the future of such technologies.
