Mobile devices have the potential to facilitate remote tasks through Augmented Reality (AR) solutions by integrating digital information into the real world. Although prior studies have explored Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) for co-located collaboration, none have investigated the impact of various viewing attributes, such as target object viewing angles, synchronization styles, and having a secondary small screen showing other users current view in the MAR environment that can influence remote task performance. In this thesis, I explore five techniques considering these attributes, specifically designed for two modes of remote tasks: collaborative and competitive. Through a user study, I examine the efficiency, user preferences, and strategies users employ for each technique for both remote tasks. Results indicate users' optimal performance and preference for the technique that allows asynchronous viewing of object manipulations on the small screen for both tasks. Finally, I present a set of design recommendations and insights for future application and interface design in this domain.
