Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for displaying a three-dimensional representation of a media source in an augmented reality meeting space. An embodiment operates by building an augmented reality (AR) meeting space comprising structured data received from a plurality of apps operating on a mobile device of a user. The structured data is translated into a three-dimensional representation of the structured data corresponding to each of the plurality of apps. A three-dimensional representation of the home screen of the mobile device of the user is rendered in the AR meeting space. It is detected that a particular one the plurality of apps has received updated content. The three-dimensional representation of the home screen is re-rendered including a visual modification to the particular one of the plurality of apps indicating that the updated content has been received.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for an augmented reality contextual menu system. An embodiment operates by receiving a request to open a file from a user. A social media channel associated with the user is identified, wherein the social media channel includes shared media. A graphical social icon representing the social media channel is generated based on the shared media. A plurality of icons, including the graphical social icon, are displayed responsive to the request. A selection of the graphical social icon causes at least a portion of the social media channel to be rendered with a computing workspace.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for meeting space collaboration in augmented reality computing environments. An embodiment operates by receiving a request from a first user to join a virtual meeting space from a first location, wherein the virtual meeting space includes a plurality of virtual objects accessible to the user through the virtual meeting space. A size of the virtual meeting space and a size of a viewing space in the first location are determined. The size of the virtual meeting space for the first user is reduced to fit into the size of the viewing space in the first location. The reduced size virtual meeting space is provided for display in the viewing space of the first location for the first user.

Meeting space collaboration in augmented reality computing environments

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for of an auto-arranging wall in an augmented reality computing environment. An embodiment operates by receiving a selection of a first one of a plurality of images from a digital wall within an augmented reality computing environment. A resize command associated with the selected first image is detected. One or more commands to increase a size of the selected first image are detected. It is determined that the increased size of the image obstructs one or more of the plurality of images on the digital wall. A visibility of a second one of the plurality of images on the digital wall is modified prior to the obstruction. The size of the image is increase in accordance with the size increase.

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for saving and loading workspaces in augmented reality (AR) environments. An embodiment operates by detecting a command associated with a mobile device configured to interact with an augmented reality (AR) environment, wherein the command indicates an intent to include content from the mobile device in the AR environment. A flat image of the content is received from the mobile device. The flat image from the mobile device is displayed as a holographic image in the AR environment. It is determined that there are a plurality of users accessing the AR environment from a plurality of different devices, wherein each of the plurality of users can see the displayed holographic image in the AR environment.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for an augmented reality interaction, modeling, and annotation system. An embodiment operates by displaying a digital model of an object within an interface of an augmented reality computing system, wherein the model is associated with a first set of dimensions corresponding to a size of the object and a second set of dimensions corresponding to a size of the digital model. A command to resize the digital model to a third set of dimensions different from the second set of dimensions is received from a user. The digital model is resized within the interface in accordance with the third set of dimensions. The resized digital model of the object is displayed in accordance with the third set of dimensions, wherein the first set of dimensions corresponding to the size of the object remains unchanged within the augmented reality computing system.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments for an augmented reality contextual menu system. An embodiment operates by determining a position of a collapsed menu icon, representing a menu within an augmented reality computing environment, on an interface of the augmented reality computing environment, based on a position of a device used to view and interact with the interface. A hand gesture, from a user corresponding to an expansion command associated with displaying a plurality of menu options on the interface is detected. The collapsed menu icon is replaced with a plurality of expanded menu icons, wherein each expanded menu icon corresponds to one of the plurality of menu options and enable user access to functionality within the augmented reality computing environment.

Augmented reality interaction and contextual menu system

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating collaborating AR workspaces. An embodiment operates by identifying a first user that is participating in an augment reality (AR) meeting space from a first location. A second user participating in the AR meeting space from a second location is identified. A selection of a room configuration for the AR meeting space based on at least one of the first location or the second location is received. The digital canvas is configured in the AR meeting space for at least one of the first user or the second user based on the selected room configuration, wherein a size or shape of the digital canvas is adjusted based on either the first wall or the second wall corresponding to the selected room configuration.

Augmented reality computing environments-collaborative workspaces

Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for providing a local scene recreation of an augmented reality meeting space to a mobile device, laptop computer, or other computing device.
