Abstract
A mixed reality (MR) system that implements methods to allow two or more users to collaboratively access and interact with 3D models in MR environments. The collaboration includes a registration process allowing users to each register their MR system to their present space with 1-click registration. The presenter performs the registration and co-located users can utilize an image of what the presenter was viewing (a registration “photo”) to register to the space using the 1-click registration process. Remote collaborators register to a different space using the 1-click registration process. With the collaboration methods, a presenter controls whether or not the collaborators can roam freely from the presenter's current location or are only able to move a predefined amount so as share a view of the 3D model-based MR environment as the presenter. Collaborators are shown lines of sight of the other users and avatars of those that are physically remote.
