Abstract
An endpoint system including one or more computing devices receives user input associated with an avatar in a shared virtual environment; calculates, based on the user input, motion for a portion of the first avatar, such as a hand; determines, based on the user input, a first gesture state for first avatar; transmits first location change notifications and a representation of the first gesture state for the first avatar; receives second location change notifications and a representation of a second gesture state for a second avatar; detects a collision between the first avatar and the second avatar based on the first location change notifications and the second location change notifications; and identifies a collaborative gesture based on the detected collision, the first gesture state, and the second gesture state.
