SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR AUGMENTED REALITY-ENABLED INTERACTIONS AND COLLABORATION

摘要

Embodiments of the present invention provide a novel system and/or method for performing over-the-network collaborations and interactions between remote end-users. Embodiments of the present invention produce the perceived effect of each user sharing a same physical workspace while each person is actually located in separate physical environments. In this manner, embodiments of the present invention allow for more seamless interactions between users while relieving them of the burden of using common computer peripheral devices such as mice, keyboards, and other hardware often used to perform such interactions.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a sensor operable to capture a first set of sensor data concerning a local user's physical environment; a receiver operable to receive a second set of sensor data over a communications network concerning a remote user's physical environment, wherein said first and second sets of sensor data comprise coordinate data gathered from a plurality of different sensors; and a processor operable to render a virtual workspace display on a computer system using said first and second sets of sensor data, wherein said virtual workspace display comprises computer-generated room furnishings to produce a perceived effect of said local user and said remote user sharing a same physical room.
