This paper presents a system that will support remote guidance collaboration, in which local expert guides remotely located assistant to perform physical, three-dimensional tasks. The supports this by allowing the annotate, point at and draw upon objects location using pen tablet-based interface control laser projection device. specific design criteria for are drawn from tele-health scenario involving medical examination of patients software architecture implementation details associated hardware. In particular, algorithm aligning representation over video display scene is described. Early evaluations specialists presented, usability laboratory experiments discussed ideas future developments outlined.
