A computing device and method are provided for transmitting a relevant subset of map data, called a neighborhood, to enable mutual spatial understanding by multiple display devices around a target virtual location to display a shared hologram in the same exact location in the physical environment at the same moment in time. The computing device may comprise a processor, a memory operatively coupled to the processor, and an anchor transfer program stored in the memory and executed by the processor.

Sharing neighboring map data across devices

One disclosed example provides a computing device comprising a processing device and a storage device storing instructions executable by the processing device to execute in a first local process an application that outputs digital content for rendering and display. During execution of the application, the instructions are executable to provide, to a second local or remote process, object information regarding an object to be rendered by the second local or remote process, receive, from the second local or remote process, a rendering of the object, output the rendering of the object to display the object, receive a manipulation made to the object, provide, to the second local or remote process, updated object information based on the manipulation made to the object, receive, from the second local or remote process, an updated rendering of the object, and output the updated rendering of the object to display the object.

Hybrid rendering

A system and method are disclosed for capturing views of a mixed reality environment from various perspectives which can be displayed on a monitor. The system includes one or more physical cameras at user-defined positions within the mixed reality environment. The system renders virtual objects in the mixed reality environment from the perspective of the one or more cameras. Real and virtual objects from the mixed reality environment may then be displayed from the perspective of the one or more cameras on one or more external, 2D monitor for viewing by others.
