In this paper we shall present the T.A.C. (Télé-Assistance-Collaborative) system whose aim is to combine remote collaboration and industrial maintenance. T.A.C. enables the copresence of parties within the framework of a supervised maintenance task to be remotely "simulated" thanks to augmented reality (AR) and audio-video communication. To support such cooperation, we propose a simple way of interacting through our O.A.P. paradigm and AR goggles specially developed for the occasion. The handling of 3D items to reproduce gestures and an additional knowledge management tool (e-portfolio, feedback, etc) also enables this solution to satisfy the new needs of industry.
