Communication protocol for streaming mixed-reality environments between multiple devices

An immersive content presentation system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more memory devices comprising instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• receiving, at a server, changes to a virtual asset in a 3-D virtual environment, wherein the 3-D virtual environment is shared between a plurality of real-world environments;
• preparing, by the server, a stream of real-time communication packets, wherein each communication packet in the stream of communication packets comprises:
• a first field configured to store a 2-D image frame depicting at least in part a view of a first real-world environment in the plurality of real-world environments and/or a rendered view of the 3-D virtual environment;
• and
• a second field configured to represent one or more 3-D transforms to be applied to the virtual asset in the 3-D virtual environment by devices receiving the stream of real-time communication packets;
• and
• transmitting, from the server, the stream of real-time communication packets to a plurality of display devices distributed in the plurality of real-world environments.

A non-transitory, computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, at a server, changes to a virtual asset in a 3-D virtual environment, wherein the 3-D virtual environment is shared between a plurality of real-world environments;
• preparing, by the server, a stream of real-time communication packets, wherein each communication packet in the stream of communication packets comprises:
• a first field configured to store a 2-D image frame depicting at least in part a view of a first real-world environment in the plurality of real-world environments and/or a rendered view of the 3-D virtual environment;
• and
• a second field configured to represent one or more 3-D transforms to be applied to the virtual asset in the 3-D virtual environment by devices receiving the stream of real-time communication packets;
• and
