Abstract

A communication system captures writing surface content in a physical space for transmittal to remote client devices participating in a communication session. During a communication session with one or more remote client devices, a communication system captures image data and depth data describing objects in a physical space of the communication system. Based on the captured data, the communication system identifies a writing surface in the physical space and captures content on the writing surface. The communication system may also identify objects occluding content on the writing surface based on the captured data and may modify image data to make an object occluding the content at least partially transparent. The communication system transmits the content to at least one of the remote client devices participating in the communication session.
