Abstract
A method of providing a geographically distributed live mixed-reality meeting is described. The method comprises receiving, from a camera at a first endpoint, a live video stream; generating an mixed reality view incorporating the received video stream; rendering the mixed reality view at a display at the first endpoint and transmitting the mixed reality view to at least one other geographically distant endpoint; receiving data defining a bounding area; calculating a real world anchor for the bounding area using the data defining the bounding area; rendering the bounding area in the mixed reality view at a real world position determined using the real world anchor; and applying different rule sets to content objects placed into the mixed reality view by users dependent upon the position of the content objects relative to the bounding area in real world space.
