Shared collaboration using display device

摘要

Various embodiments are provided for a shared collaboration system and related methods for enabling an active user to interact with one or more additional users and with collaboration items. In one embodiment a head-mounted display device is operatively connected to a computing device that includes a collaboration engine program. The program receives observation information of a physical space from the head-mounted display device along with a collaboration item. The program visually augments an appearance of the physical space as seen through the head-mounted display device to include an active user collaboration item representation of the collaboration item. The program populates the active user collaboration item representation with additional user collaboration item input from an additional user.

主权项

1. A shared collaboration system including a head-mounted display device operatively connected to a computing device, the head-mounted display device including a transparent display screen through which an active user may view a physical space, the shared collaboration system enabling the active user to interact with at least one additional user and with at least one collaboration item, the shared collaboration system comprising:
a collaboration engine program executed by a processor of the computing device, the collaboration engine program configured to:
receive observation information data representing the physical space from the head-mounted display device;receive the at least one collaboration item;receive additional user collaboration item input from the at least one additional user;visually augment an appearance of the physical space as seen through the transparent display screen of the head-mounted display device to include an active user collaboration item representation;visually emphasize an emphasized element within the active user collaboration item representation based on an active user action or an additional user action;populate the active user collaboration item representation with the additional user collaboration item input from the at least one additional user; determine that the active user is performing an active user action that changes the at least one collaboration item; determine that the at least one additional user is performing an additional user action that changes the at least one collaboration item in a manner conflicting with the active user action; and based on the active user action and the additional user action, establish a social connection between the active user and the at least one additional user.
