Abstract: Coordinating operations within an XR environment from remote locations include executing an XR collaboration application to provide a virtual reality experience within an XR environment representing a real-world environment on a user device. A representation of an object within the XR environment may be rendered on a user interface of the user device. An additional user device located at a remote location may provide user input. In response to the user input, an edited representation of the object may be generated based at least on a viewpoint of the object from the additional user device. The edited representation of the object may be rendered on the user interface of the user device, the edited representation of the object may correspond to the viewpoint of the object from the additional user device.

Abstract: Implementing a collaborative working space in an XR environment includes executing an XR collaboration application to provide a virtual reality experience within an XR environment representing a real-world environment on a user device. Within the XR environment, an XR author may create a task associated with virtual content as the virtual content is viewed by the XR author on the user device. The XR author may assign the task to a collaborator operating in the XR environment based at least on one or more criteria.

Abstract: Techniques are described herein for interfacing with various Internet of Things (IoT) devices and for rendering received data in a usable form for an XR collaboration application that provides an interactive experience in an augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and/or mixed reality (MR) environment. The techniques include retrieving, from an IoT device, IoT data that can represent a physical environment. Additionally, an adapter interface is selected based at least on filter logic associated with a format defined to the selected adapter interface. The IoT data is parsed according to the format defined to the selected adapter interface to permit the XR collaboration application to utilize the IoT data in a usable form. The IoT data that is parsed is associated with virtual content in a virtual environment that represents the physical environment for presentation to the user.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques that facilitate generating or modifying a template application that provides an application user with interactive experience within a Virtual Reality (VR) environment, an Augmented Reality (AR) environment, or a combination of both (i.e. MR environment). Moreover, this disclosure describes an XR collaboration system that permits an XR author to generate or modify an XR template that is presented to an application user via XR environment-enabled client device. Specifically, an XR author may use the XR collaboration application to add, change, or remove markers within an XR template along with associated virtual content. Further, the XR author may configure appearance criteria associated with markers to control the criteria and sequential order that markers may appear within an XR environment. Similarly, activation criteria may control the appearance and sequential order of virtual content that is associated with markers within the XR environment.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a collaboration platform for multiple modes and types of user devices used in virtual mapping products. A holographic mapping application utilizes a collaboration platform to view, edit, and manipulate holographic map images. The platform includes re-useable modules that function with virtually any type of virtual reality user equipment. The holographic mapping application is operable with different types and modes of user devices, including virtual reality headsets (i.e., goggles), conventional 2-D platforms such as cell phones, tablets and PCs, without regard for the manufacturer of the user equipment.

Abstract: Systems and methods are described for managing virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) objects, such as avatars. When an avatar is instantiated, a tracking file on a client is associated with an avatar component. When changes are made with respect to the avatar—i.e., a method is called, an event is triggered, an attribute is changed—the tracking module traps the change (i.e., the function making the change and its parameters) and transmits the function and parameters to a server, which hosts several resources. The server receives the function and parameters and refers to a concordance database to look up a generic class to which the function has been mapped. If an event handler is available for the function, then the server executes the event handler and transmits a result to the client. An audit can be performed on classes used with an avatar.
