In this paper, we describe a framework for synchronous collaborative visualization and remote control in the agricultural
domain. The framework builds on “Second Life” (SL), a popular networked online 3D virtual world, where users are represented
as avatars (graphical self-representations). Co-presence in SL takes the form of instant (real-time) two-way interaction among
two or more avatars. The aim of our work is to facilitate co-presence for sharing knowledge and exchanging wisdom about environmental
practices. In order to establish a realistic simulated context for communication in SL, virtual counterparts of real devices
are created in the virtual world. Specifically, we aim to represent field servers that sense and monitor fields such as rice
paddies and vineyards. The Twin-World Mediator (TWM) is developed in order to replicate the behavior of real devices in virtual
counterparts, and to facilitate seamless communication between real and virtual world. The TWM is an easy-to-use, extensible,
and flexible communication framework. A small study demonstrated how the TWM can support collaboration and experience sharing
in the agricultural domain. |
