Abstract
Various implementations use object information to facilitate a communication session. Some implementations create a dense reconstruction (e.g., a point cloud or triangular mesh) of a physical environment, for example, using light intensity images and depth sensor data. A less data-intensive object information is also created to represent the physical environment for more efficient storage, editing, sharing, and use. In some implementations, the object information includes object attribute and location information. In some implementations, a 2D floorplan or other 2D representation provides object locations and metadata (e.g., object type, texture, heights, dimensions, etc.) provide object attributes. The object location and attribute information may be used, during a communication session, to generate a 3D graphical environment that is representative of the physical environment.
