  • Telepresence of users in interactive virtual spaces
    Patent number: 11308672
    Abstract: A telepresence communication uses information captured by a first capture device about a first user and information captured by a second capture device about a second user to generate a first avatar corresponding to the first user and a second avatar corresponding to the second user. A scene can be rendered locally or by a remote server in which the first avatar and the second avatar are both rendered in a virtual space. The first avatar is rendered to move based on movements made by the first user as captured by the first capture device, and the second avatar is rendered to move based on movements made by the second user as captured by the second capture device. The avatars may be realistic, based on avatar templates, or some combination thereof. The rendered scene may include virtual interactive objects that the avatars can interact with.
