A Toolkit to Evaluate and Characterize the Collaborative Process in Scenarios of Remote Collaboration Supported by AR

Remote collaboration using Augmented Reality (AR) has enormous potential to support collaborators that need to achieve a common goal. However, there is a lack of tools for evaluating these multifaceted contexts, involving many aspects that may influence the way collaboration occurs. Therefore, it is essential to develop solutions to monitor AR-supported collaboration in a more structured manner, allowing adequate portrayal and report of such efforts. As a contribute, we describe CAPTURE, a toolkit to instrument AR-based tools via visual editors, enabling rapid data collection and filtering during distributed evaluations. We illustrate the use of the toolkit through a case study on remote maintenance and report the results obtained, which can elicit a more complete characterization of the collaborative process moving forward.
