As Covid-19 has been a long-lasting worldwide pandemic, more companies wish to find a solution in collaborative Augmented Reality (AR). That makes AR a growing technology that allows users to observe a virtual object in the real world in real-time. The virtual object can interact with real-world objects to fully augment the user’s reality. This paper's first aim is to evaluate whether a remote or aphysically co-located AR space is most efficient. The second aim concerns whether AR planes or AR tags will increase efficiency in the virtual environment. The third is to evaluate whether having a supervisor on a desktop with a mouse and keyboard and a screen or holding a phone connected to the same AR space is most efficient. The paper’s experiment’s focus will be to measure efficiency by fetching quantifiable data from the application while the pair of subjects complete the task of building a pyramid with cubes. Three paired t-tests have been done, one for each of the different test requirements. Co-located have been tested against remote, AR tag against AR plane, and 2D against 3D. The null hypothesis for these three tests is that there is no difference. A survey was done to collect qualitative data to determine which configuration was preferred. It was shown that co-located, 2D supervising, and AR planes were perceived as the best configuration. The results of the paired t-tests show that the difference between co-located and remote is significant with a 99% accuracy. At the same time, the two other tests have an insignificant difference, even with a 95% accuracy.
