Extended web services for remote collaborative manipulation in distributed augmented reality

Abstract : In this paper we present an extended formalism of web services for developing a Remote Collaborative Manipulation system in Augmented Reality Environment. This system is an Internet-based virtual 3D environment that provides users a shared space and a collaborative platform for publishing, simulating and analyzing multidimensional data. In this paper, we have constructed our collaborative system using web services technology. The architecture and the system's working mechanisms based on the extended web services were elaborated. To demonstrate Remote Collaborative Manipulation system, we have examined a case study of automotive design.
