AR Monitoring System for User Safety in VR Encountered-Type Haptics
This paper presents an Augmented Reality (AR) monitoring system for a human overseer of a mobile robotic Encountered-Type Haptic Device (ETHD) in walkable Virtual Reality (VR). By integrating Robot Operating System (ROS), Unity, and Microsoft HoloLens 2, the system combines critical data, navigation, and behavior plans of the robotic ETHD system into a unified AR interface. This approach reduces the overseer's workload while enabling uninterrupted monitoring of the physical workspace to enhance safety. Preliminary results demonstrate its effectiveness and potential in improving focus and decision-making, leading to a safer workspace.
