Abstract
A device may include a processor configured to determine a first position of a physical camera in a physical environment, transmit the first position to a second device, obtain metadata of the physical camera, and cause a modification of a virtual camera of the second device based on the metadata. The processor is also configured to obtain, from the second device, at least one virtual image frame captured by the virtual camera placed at a second position in a computer-generated environment, and to obtain, from the physical camera, at least one image frame captured from the physical environment. The processor is also configured to generate a composite image frame including at least a portion of at least one virtual image frame composited with at least a portion of the at least one image frame, and display the composite image frame.
