Shared environment for vehicle occupant and remote user

A system for providing a shared vehicle experience, comprising:

• at least one sensor configured to capture an exterior video stream that depicts an exterior environment of a vehicle;
• and
• one or more processors configured to:
• receive remote user information indicating a bodily movement of a remote user,
• generate an augmented video stream comprising a dynamic avatar representing the remote user as a virtual passenger at a particular location in the vehicle,
• cause the augmented video stream to be output on an in-vehicle display,
• update the dynamic avatar based on the remote user information while the augmented video stream is being displayed in the vehicle, and
• send at least a portion of the exterior video stream and occupant information to a computer device that causes, based on the at least a portion of the exterior video stream and the occupant information, a display device of the remote user to output an additional augmented video stream that provides the remote user with an experience of being in the vehicle, wherein the occupant information indicates a location of one or more occupants in the vehicle and a bodily movement of the one or more occupants while the augmented video stream is being displayed in the vehicle, wherein the additional augmented video stream, as output on the display device of the remote user, shows the exterior environment of the vehicle from a perspective of the virtual passenger at the particular location in the vehicle, and wherein the particular location in the vehicle is selectable from among a plurality of locations in the vehicle such that the dynamic avatar and the perspective of the virtual passenger can be moved to a different location of the plurality of locations in the vehicle.

A computer-readable storage medium containing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a computer, cause the one or more processors to:

• capture an exterior video stream that depicts an exterior environment of a vehicle;
• receive remote user information indicating a bodily movement of a remote user;
• generate and display an augmented video stream comprising a dynamic avatar representing the remote user as a virtual passenger at a particular location in the vehicle, the dynamic avatar being updated based on the remote user information while the augmented video stream is being displayed in the vehicle;
• and
• send at least a portion of the exterior video stream and occupant information to a computer device that causes, based on the at least a portion of the exterior video stream and the occupant information, a display device of the remote user to output an additional augmented video stream that provides the remote user with an experience of being in the vehicle, wherein the occupant information indicates a location of one or more occupants in the vehicle and a bodily movement of the one or more occupants while the augmented video stream is being displayed in the vehicle, wherein the additional augmented video stream, as output on the display device of the remote user, shows the exterior environment of the vehicle from a perspective of the virtual passenger at the particular location in the vehicle, and wherein the particular location in the vehicle is selectable from among a plurality of locations in the vehicle such that the dynamic avatar and the perspective of the virtual passenger can be moved to a different location of the plurality of locations in the vehicle.
