Remote control systems enable industrial operators to control heavy machinery remotely. By doing so, they could work in improved and safe workplaces. Apart from the advantages of remote control systems in industry, there are challenges when the received information is more limited than what could be perceived on-site, e.g., perceiving depth. Augmented Telepresence combines the concepts of Telepresence, which aims to make users feel as if they are physically present in a remote location, and Augmented Reality, which overlays digital information and virtual objects in the real-world environment. It is, therefore, crucial to investigate how well operators experience their work and perform tasks by interacting with Remote control systems and using the provided visual interfaces.
