Remote mixed reality (MR) collaboration systems allow for multimodal, real-time support from remote experts. We present our open toolkit that provides a flexible end-to-end solution building such using off-the-shelf hardware. From related work, three core design aspects have been identified: 1) the independence of viewpoint visitor (the expert) can take in relation to position and visitee, 2) immersiveness presentation technology 3) extent which visitor's body is represented visitee's environment. This paper describes implementation system, includes these aspects. In study aimed at validating whether we implemented good effect, conducted with collaborative puzzle application built toolkit, examine how variations contribute usability, performance social presence metrics.
