A computer-implemented method of generating a mixed reality workflow is described. The method comprises identifying a series of tasks and generating an input task-to-object-mapping by analyzing data that defines a process performed by a first user interacting with objects in a first location. The input task-to-object-mapping that maps each task from the series of tasks to an object used in the respective task. A task-specific non-spatial characteristic of each object in the input task-to-object-mapping is determined and used to map each object in the input task-to-object-mapping to a candidate object identified at a second location to generate an output task-to-object-mapping. The series of tasks, location data defining a position of each candidate object in the second location and output task-to-object-mapping are used to generate a mapped workflow which is then output to a device in the second location.

Mixed reality workflow generation

A computer-implemented method is described which comprises generating a representation of a digital space and a representation of the physical space using an audiovisual feed received from a camera proximate to a display located in the physical space. The representation of the digital space is generated using user information identifying a remote user associated with the display and presence information relating to the remote user and the digital representation comprises an avatar of the remote user. The representation of the digital space is output to the display located in the physical space and the representation of the physical space it output to a computing device associated with the remote user. The method further comprises dynamically updating the representation of the digital space and/or physical space in response to changes in the user information and presence information.

Collaborative system

Systems and methods for representing two-dimensional representations as three-dimensional avatars are provided herein. In some examples, one or more input video streams are received. A first subject, within the one or more input video streams, is identified. Based on the one or more input video streams, a first view of the first subject is identified. Based on the one or more input video streams, a second view of the first subject is identified. The first subject is segmented into a plurality of planar object. The plurality of planar objects are transformed with respect to each other. The plurality of planar objects are based on the first and second views of the first subject. The plurality of planar objects are output in an output video stream. The plurality of planar objects provide perspective of the first subject to one or more viewers.
