Abstract
A remote, instruction-based approach allows the students and teachers to interact in an AR environment that does not require their physical presence in the classroom, nor the physical presence of an object of study. In many laboratory environments, students are present in the same physical location and are instructed to interact with real devices. The aim of this research is to create a general development software tool that allows importing 3D models of laboratory devices; set up specific script actions that students must perform; and allow AR 3D interaction and communication with the instructor. The system allows one-to-one or one-to-many AR communication that will eliminate the barriers of audio calls or manual video-instructed actions. The application has a natural extension in any industrial environment that requires remote assistance with visual interpretation of problems and solutions.
