Implementation and Evaluation of a Multi-user Digital Content Sharing Application using Mixed Reality

Abstract

Currently, few digital content sharing systems using mixed reality (MR) adequately address the diverse needs of users, partly due to the lack of a suitable platform for content sharing. In this study, we developed a multi-user digital content sharing application leveraging MR technology. An evaluation experiment involving 30 participants was conducted, assuming use cases such as remote meetings, collaborative design, and collaborative learning. The results confirmed high operability of the content manipulation, as well as smooth performance in content generation, content manipulation, and remote user interaction. However, some participants experienced difficulty in content manipulation, indicating the need for improved operability. For practical deployment across various fields, the application must be further enhanced with domain-specific functions based on feedback obtained from the evaluation.
