Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) systems described herein can be configured to record images, video, and/or annotations for concurrent communication to a remote system for display or subsequent access. A communication between a user and an expert user using the system can include an audio communication (unidirectional or bidirectional), a video communication from the user to the expert user (allowing the expert user to see, in real time, the same environment as the user), and a data communication (via which content overlaid over the video communication, such as annotations, may be displayed for both the expert user and the user). The systems can be configured to communicate concurrently while also creating a recording for later review based on a 'live' or current issue being faced by a user assisted by an expert where the communication session is recorded for later playback by other users.
