Abstract
An approach is provided in which the approach establishes a communication link between a virtual reality device and a hologram system. The hologram system projects a hologram in a physical world and the virtual reality device projects a corresponding virtual hologram in a virtual world. The virtual reality device adjusts the virtual hologram based on request from a user operating the virtual reality device and the approach instructs the hologram system to adjust the hologram in a manner similar to the adjustments to the virtual hologram.
Claims20
A method implemented by an information handling system that includes a memory and a processor, the method comprising:
- establishing a communication link between a virtual reality device and a hologram system, wherein the virtual reality device projects a virtual hologram in a virtual world viewable to a first user operating the virtual reality device, and the hologram system projects a hologram corresponding to the virtual hologram in a physical world viewable to a second user;
- receiving a request from the first user operating the virtual reality device to adjust the virtual hologram;
- adjusting, by the virtual reality device, the virtual hologram in the virtual world;
- and
- sending a set of instructions from the virtual reality device to the hologram system that instructs the hologram system to adjust the hologram in the physical world based upon the adjusting of the virtual hologram, wherein the adjusted hologram is viewable by the second user.
An information handling system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- a memory coupled to at least one of the processors;
- a set of computer program instructions stored in the memory and executed by at least one of the processors in order to perform actions of:
- establishing a communication link between a virtual reality device and a hologram system, wherein the virtual reality device projects a virtual hologram in a virtual world viewable to a first user operating the virtual reality device, and the hologram system projects a hologram corresponding to the virtual hologram in a physical world viewable to a second user;
- receiving a request from the first user operating the virtual reality device to adjust the virtual hologram;
- adjusting, by the virtual reality device, the virtual hologram in the virtual world;
- and
- sending a set of instructions from the virtual reality device to the hologram system that instructs the hologram system to adjust the hologram in the physical world based upon the adjusting of the virtual hologram, wherein the adjusted hologram is viewable by the second user.
A computer readable storage medium comprising a computer program product, wherein the computer program product comprises computer program code that, when executed by an information handling system, causes the information handling system to perform actions comprising:
- establishing a communication link between a virtual reality device and a hologram system, wherein the virtual reality device projects a virtual hologram in a virtual world viewable to a first user operating the virtual reality device, and the hologram system projects a hologram corresponding to the virtual hologram in a physical world viewable to a second user;
- receiving a request from the first user operating the virtual reality device to adjust the virtual hologram;
- adjusting, by the virtual reality device, the virtual hologram in the virtual world;
- and
- sending a set of instructions from the virtual reality device to the hologram system that instructs the hologram system to adjust the hologram in the physical world based upon the adjusting of the virtual hologram, wherein the adjusted hologram is viewable by the second user.
