Abstract
An electronic device displays an image during a communication between two people. The image represents one of the people to the communication. The electronic device determines a location where to place the image and displays the image such that the image appears to exist at the location.
Claims20
A method executed by one or more electronic devices that provide an electronic call between a first person and a second person, the method comprising:
- mapping, from information captured with a first wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of the first person, a physical room that includes a wall;
- displaying, in the physical room and with the first WED worn on the head of the first person during the electronic call between the first person and the second person, a three-dimensional (3D) virtual image of the second person;
- displaying, on the wall in the physical room and with the first WED worn on the head of the first person during the electronic call between the first person and the second person, a virtual image shaped as a rectangle that shows available locations on the wall in the physical room where virtual images selected by the first and second persons will appear during the electronic call between the first and second person;
- and
- displaying, with the first WED worn on the head of the first person during the electronic call between the first person and the second person, the virtual images selected by the first and second persons at the virtual image shaped as the rectangle displayed on the wall.

A non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions that one or more electronic devices execute as a method comprising:
- mapping, from information captured with a first wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a first user, locations of objects that include a wall where the first user is located and locations of empty space where the first user is located;
- determining, from the mapping of the locations and for an electronic communication between the first user and the second user, a location proximate to the wall in the empty space where to place a virtual image of the second user and a location on the wall where to display virtual images selected by the first and second users;
- displaying, by the first WED and during the electronic communication, the virtual image of the second user at the location proximate to the wall in empty space and a virtual image at the location on the wall that shows available locations for virtual images selected by the first and second users;
- and
- displaying, by the first WED and during the electronic communication, the virtual images selected by the first and second users at the virtual image at the location on the wall.

A method comprising:
- mapping, from information captured with a first wearable electronic device (WED) worn on a head of a first user, locations of objects that include a floor and a wall where the first user is located and locations of empty space where the first user is located;
- determining, from the mapping of the locations, a location proximate to the wall and on the floor where to place a three-dimensional (3D) virtual image of the second user and an available location on the wall where to place a virtual image of an object;
- displaying, by the first WED and during an electronic communication between the first user and a second user, the 3D virtual image of the second user at the location proximate to the wall and on the floor and the virtual image of the object at the available location on the wall;
- and
- sharing, from the first WED to a second WED worn on a head of the second user and during the electronic communication, a coordinate location of the virtual image of the object at the available location on the wall.
