Remote collaboration methods and systems
Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to immersive collaboration based on configuring a real scene VRE operable from a real scene and a remote VRE operable remote from the real scene with an MR scene model of the real scene, creating an MR scene in each of the real scene VRE and remote VRE based on augmenting the MR scene model with an object model, calibrating the remote MR scene to correspond in three-dimensional space with the real scene MR scene model, and automatically providing immersive collaboration based on the MR scene in the remote VRE and updating the real scene VRE with changes to the remote VRE. In an illustrative example, the MR scene model of the real scene may be determined as a function of sensor data scanned from the real scene. In some embodiments, the MR scene model may be augmented with an object model identified from the real scene. The object model identified from the real scene may be, for example, selected from a known object set based on matching sensor data scanned from the real scene with an object from a known object set. In some embodiments, the remote MR scene may be calibrated based onmore »

The object model identified from the real scene may be, for example, selected from a known object set based on matching sensor data scanned from the real scene with an object from a known object set. In some embodiments, the remote MR scene may be calibrated based on applying a three-dimensional transform calculated as a function of the real MR scene and remote MR scene geometries. Some designs may recreate a subset of the real scene in the remote VRE and update the real scene VRE with changes to the remote VRE. Various embodiments may advantageously provide seamless multimedia collaboration based on updates to the remote VRE in response to physical changes to the real scene, and updating the real scene VRE in response to changes in the remote VRE.},
