Multi-user content sharing using anchors in 3d environments

Abstract

Various implementations provide advantages of real-world environments, such as real-world office spaces in which workers have desks or office spaces located within the same floor, hallway, common area, etc., in remote circumstances. Communications sessions between the devices of remote users share content amongst the users. This may involve sharing audio content so that the users can talk to one another or hear the real or virtual sounds from one another's areas (e.g., offices). This may involve sharing visual content of the users, their avatars, or real or virtual objects so that the users can see one another and objects within one another's areas. Some implementations determine to initiate or continue sharing content based on one more criterion. A communication session between users or the sharing of content within a communication session may be initiated or continued based on a spatial relationship amongst anchors of users within a common coordinate system.
