As extended reality (XR) systems become increasingly available, XR-based remote instruction is being adopted for diverse purposes in professional settings such as surgery and field servicing. Hobbyists have been well-studied in HCI and may similarly benefit from remote skill-sharing. However, little is known about how XR technologies might support expert-novice collaboration for skilled hobby activities. This paper examines the potential and limitations of XR to connect experts and novices for one such activity: gardening. Through two studies involving 27 expert and novice gardeners, we designed prototypes to understand 1) practitioner perceptions of XR and remote skill-sharing in the garden and 2) what kinds of interactions can be supported in XR for expert-novice groups. We discuss design opportunities and challenges for XR systems in supporting informal connecting interactions and meaningful sensory interactions with a remote environment during skill-sharing.
随着扩展现实(XR)系统越来越普及,基于XR的远程指导正被应用于手术和现场维修等专业场景的各种用途。在人机交互(HCI)领域,对业余爱好者已有充分研究,他们可能同样会从远程技能共享中受益。然而,对于XR技术如何支持专家与新手在熟练的业余活动中进行协作,我们却知之甚少。本文探讨了XR在连接专家和新手进行园艺这一活动方面的潜力和局限性。通过两项涉及27位专家和新手园艺师的研究,我们设计了原型,以了解:1)从业者对园艺中XR和远程技能共享的看法;2)在XR中可以为专家-新手群体支持哪些类型的互动。我们讨论了XR系统在技能共享期间支持与远程环境进行非正式连接互动和有意义的感官互动方面的设计机会和挑战。
