A cross reality system enables any of multiple devices to efficiently render shared location-based content. The cross reality system may include a cloud-based service that responds to requests from devices to localize with respect to a stored map. The service may return to the device information that localizes the device with respect to the stored map. In conjunction with localization information, the service may provide information about locations in the physical world proximate the device for which virtual content has been provided. Based on information received from the service, the device may render, or stop rendering, virtual content to each of multiple users based on the user's location and specified locations for the virtual content.

Cross reality system with localization service and shared location-based content

Disclosed is an approach for managing and displaying virtual content in a mixed reality environment on a one-on-one basis independently by each application, each virtual content is rendered by its respective application into a bounded volume referred herein as a 'Prism.' Each Prism may have characteristics and properties that allow a universe application to manage and display the Prism in the mixed reality environment such that the universe application may manage the placement and display of the virtual content in the mixed reality environment by managing the Prism itself.
