Systems and methods are presented for immersive and simultaneous animation in a mixed reality environment. Techniques disclosed represent a physical object, present at a scene, in a 3D space of a virtual environment associated with the scene. A virtual element is posed relative to the representation of the physical object in the virtual environment. The virtual element is displayed to users from a perspective of each user in the virtual environment. Responsive to an interaction of one user with the virtual element, an edit command is generated and the pose of the virtual element is adjusted in the virtual environment according to the edit command. The display of the virtual element to the users is then updated according to the adjusted pose. When simultaneous and conflicting edit commands are generated by collaborating users, policies to reconcile the conflicting edit commands are disclosed.

Augmenting a physical object with virtual components

The present disclosure is related to an audience engagement system and method to display images on a display. The method includes detecting a gaze direction of a designated viewer, rendering a gaze object within an image on a gaze axis corresponding to the gaze direction, rendering an audience object within the image on a normal axis corresponding to a display axis, composting the audience object and the gaze object together in a composited image, and displaying the composited image on the display.
