Abstract
Various implementations provide a method for determining position data of a first device relative to a three-dimensional (3D) representation during a communication session. For example, a 3D representation is determined by a first device to correspond to a current physical environment of the first device. Then a spatial relationship is determined between the 3D representation and the current physical environment. Then position data is determined to correspond to a position of the first device relative to the 3D representation and based on a location of the first device in the current physical environment and the spatial relationship between the 3D representation and the current physical environment. The position data is then provided during a communication session between the first device and a second device with a view of the 3D representation including a representation of a user of the first device presented to a user of the second device.
