Method of generating a virtual environment by scanning a real-world environment with a first device and displaying the virtual environment on a second device

Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes scanning a real-world environment with a first device associated with a first user; generating a three-dimensional model of the real-world environment, transmitting the three-dimensional model to a head-mounted device associated with the first user, determining a pose of the head-mounted device by localizing the head-mounted device within the three-dimensional model based on images captured by a second camera of the head-mounted device, displaying, on the head-mounted device, a virtual space corresponding to the scanned real-world environment generated based on the three-dimensional model as viewed from the pose, and transmitting, to a remote head-mounted device of a second user, data corresponding to the three-dimensional model and the pose of the head-mounted device, the data being configured for rendering, by the remote head-mounted device, the virtual space with a first avatar corresponding to the first user having the pose.
