Abstract: Systems and methods for spawning a digital object in an environment are disclosed. Data describing the environment is received. The data includes data describing properties of the environment, a state of the environment, and properties of a plurality of objects within the environment. The data is analyzed to detect and categorize one or more of the plurality of objects, and to detect one or more surfaces related to the plurality of objects. Data is received that describes a placement of the digital object on one of the detected surfaces or detected objects and determines properties of the placement. Conditions are associated with the placed digital object, the conditions including data describing properties of the placement, data describing properties of the detected object, and data describing a state of the detected object. The spawning of the digital object is performed in the environment based on the conditions.

Abstract: A method of synchronizing digital content between a first mobile device and a second mobile device is disclosed. Device position and orientation data is received at a first application executing in an operating system of the first mobile device. Sensor data is used to determine at least two 3D points associated with a physical location of the second mobile device. At least two 3D points are used to determine an offset for the position, orientation and scale of the first mobile device relative to the second mobile device. The offset and digital content data captured by the first mobile device are shared over a network with a second application executing in an operating system of the second mobile device. The second mobile device uses the offset to display the digital content captured by the first mobile device together with digital content data captured by the second mobile device.
