Abstract: Users can view images or renderings of items placed (virtually) within a physical space. For example, a rendering of an item can be placed within a live camera view of the physical space. A snapshot of the physical space can be captured and the snapshot can be customized, shared, etc. The renderings can be represented as two-dimensional images, e.g., virtual stickers or three-dimensional models of the items. Users can have the ability to view different renderings, move those items around, and develop views of the physical space that may be desirable. The renderings can link to products offered through an electronic marketplace and those products can be consumed. Further, collaborative design is enabled through modeling the physical space and enabling users to view and move around the renderings in a virtual view of the physical space.

The system also includes an analysis device configured to perform a Fourier Transform of the digital images to obtain a hyperspectral representation of the object.

Abstract: Presented herein are systems and methods that allow for dynamic tracking of changes made by an interacting participant. The non-interacting participants follow the changes made by the interacting participant but maintain the ability to take control of their viewport. The systems and methods introduce the concept of an area of interest (AOI), which is a region of the canvas that contains changes or modifications. The AOI relies on a notion of an active user. An active user is a participant that performs an action on the whiteboard. In order for the other participants to view and be aware of changes made to the whiteboard by the active user, the viewport of each device is automatically mapped to contain the AOI.
