Virtual content displayed with shared anchor

A computing device for displaying virtual content via a first display device, the computing device comprising:

• a processor;
• and
• a memory holding instructions executable by the processor to:
• capture image data of a physical environment;
• identify in the image data a first shared anchor tag comprising a first object located in the physical environment;
• identify in the image data a second shared anchor tag comprising a second object located in the physical environment
• transmit the first shared anchor tag image data to a server computing device;
• receive a data packet comprising a first shared anchor that is linked to the first shared anchor tag and associated with a second display device, wherein the first shared anchor defines a three-dimensional location in the physical environment, wherein the data packet comprises data retrieved by the server computing device using at least a portion of the first shared anchor tag image data;
• based on identifying the first shared anchor tag and the second shared anchor tag, display a first conflict resolution indicator at a first location that is associated with the first shared anchor tag and a second conflict resolution indicator at a second location that is associated with the second shared anchor tag;
• receive a user input selecting the first conflict resolution indicator;
• and
• in response to receiving the user input, display a hologram at a target location corresponding to the selected first conflict resolution indicator.

A head-mounted display device, comprising:

• an at least partially see-through display;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory holding instructions executable by the processor to:
• capture image data of a physical environment;
• identify in the image data a first shared anchor tag comprising a first object located in the physical environment;
• identify in the image data a second shared anchor tag comprising a second object located in the physical environment;
• transmit the first shared anchor tag image data to a server computing device;
• receive a data packet comprising a first shared anchor that is linked to the first shared anchor tag and associated with another display device, wherein the first shared anchor defines a three-dimensional location in the physical environment and the other display device is displaying a hologram at a target location that is determined relative to the location of the first shared anchor, wherein the data packet comprises data retrieved by the server computing device using at least a portion of the first shared anchor tag image data;
• based on identifying the first shared anchor tag and the second shared anchor tag, display a first conflict resolution indicator at a first location that is associated with the first shared anchor tag and a second conflict resolution indicator at a second location that is associated with the second shared anchor tag;
• receive a user input selecting the first conflict resolution indicator;
• and
• in response to receiving the user input, display the hologram at a location corresponding to the selected first conflict resolution indicator.
