Controlling a mixed reality (MR), virtual reality (VR), or augmented reality (AR) (collectively, MR) environment visualization may involve obtaining a plurality of sensor data from a plurality of data sources; processing the obtained plurality of sensor data using a plurality of data analyzers to identify at least one feature; generating a plurality of annotated data sets, wherein the annotated data sets contain an annotation of the at least one feature; aggregating the plurality of annotated data sets to correlate the at least one feature as a common feature across different annotated data sets of the plurality of annotated data sets; and based at least on the common feature, providing a visualization output representing the MR (VR, AR, or specifically mixed-reality) environment. Disclosed examples enable utilizing of disparate data types from different data sources, localizing the different data a common space, and aggregating results for visualization and/or further analysis.

Examples are disclosed that relate to devices and methods for sharing geo-located information between different devices. In one example, a method comprises receiving the geo-located information from a first user device having a first data type compatible with a first output component of the device, receiving first sensor data from the first device, determining a location of the geo-located information within a coordinate system in a physical environment, determining that a second user device is located in the physical environment, determining that the second device does not comprise an output component that is compatible with the first data type, transforming the geo-located information into a second data type compatible with a second output component of the second device, determining that the second device is proximate to the location of the geo-located information, and sending the geo-located information to the second device for output by the second output component.
