N2 - We design and evaluate a mixed reality real-time communication system for remote assistance during CPR emergencies. Our system allows an expert to guide a first responder, remotely, on how to give first aid. RGBD cameras capture a volumetric view of the local scene including the patient, the first responder, and the environment. The volumetric capture is augmented onto the remote expert’s view to spatially guide the first responder using visual and verbal instructions. We evaluate the mixed reality communication system in a research study in which participants face a simulated emergency. The first responder moves the patient to the recovery position and performs chest compressions as well as mouth-to-mask ventilation. Our study compares mixed reality against videoconferencing-based assistance using CPR performance measures, cognitive workload surveys, and semi-structured interviews. We find that more visual communication including gestures and objects is used by the remote expert when assisting in mixed reality compared to videoconferencing. Moreover, the performance and the workload for the first responder during simulation does not differ significantly between the two technologies.
