The augmentation sharing model is configured to receive rendering data from the remote device, and to transmit the rendering data to an augmented reality device when the augmented reality device is located in the real-world environment. This allows the remote device to explore and augment a virtual version of the real-world environment remotely. The global 3D model represents a greater portion of the real-environment than any of the local 3D models individually. The global model generation module is configured to combine the local 3D models to generate a global 3D model, and to transmit at least part of the global 3D model to a device remote from the real-world environment. The computer interface is configured to receive a plurality of local 3D models of a part of a real-world environment, each having been generated by a different augmented reality device when located in the real-world environment. In one aspect, an augmented reality system comprises a computer interface, a global model generation module, and an augmentation sharing module. This Summary is not intended to identify key features or essential features of the claimed subject matter, nor is it intended to be used to limit the scope of the claimed subject matter. This Summary is provided to introduce a selection of concepts in a simplified form that are further described below in the Detailed Description. These may be housed in the headpiece, as in the HoloLens, or in a separate housing connected to the headpiece by wireless or wired means. An example is the Microsoft HoloLens device.Īs well as a wearable display system, an augmented reality device may incorporate other components, such as processing unit(s), computer interface(s) that provide network connectivity, and camera(s) etc.

This is referred to as augmented reality (“AR”), or equivalently mixed reality. Some types of display systems provide a view through this optics so that the generated image which is displayed to the user is overlaid onto a real world view. Optical components are arranged in a wearable headpiece so as to display the desired image within a few centimeters of the user's eyes.

Such wearable headsets are sometimes referred to as head mounted displays.

Wearable display systems can be embodied in a wearable headset which is arranged to display an image within a short distance from a human eye. BACKGROUNDĭisplay systems can used to make a desired image visible to a user. 20, 2015, the entire disclose of which is incorporated by reference herein. 62/207,753, titled “Augmented Reality” and filed on Aug.
