INTUITIVE AUGMENTED REALITY COLLABORATION ON VISUAL DATA

摘要

Various systems and techniques for intuitively and non-obstructively obtaining awareness of fellow collaborator views and/or statuses in an augmented reality environment are disclosed. An interaction is detected between a first and second HMD, both collaborative participants of a shared dataset represented in an augmented reality environment. The detected interaction can cause the first HMD to request state information associated with the second HMD. The second HMD can process the request in accordance with a privacy policy to generate a set of visual data as a response to the request. The second HMD can communicate the generated set of visual data to the first HMD, such that the first HMD can render the received set of visual data as additional computer-generated object(s) to be displayed concurrently with its own augmented view. The additional computer-generated object(s) can be positioned in accordance with a real-world or virtualized position of the second HMD, such that the now-visible state information associated with the second HMD does not obstruct a view of the second HMD's user.
