Abstract
The present application contemplates a method of providing a participant with traversable access to a local environmental context of a target. In preferred embodiments, a context engine accesses multiple views of the local environmental context and stitches together the multiple views to produce a digital, walkabout reality of the local environmental context. Upon a participant/recipient accessing a communication from a sender, the participant is able to use a portal during a viewing session to traverse the digital, walkabout reality associated with a target. It is contemplated that the target is physically located within the local environmental context.
Claims13
A method of providing a participant with traversable access to mixed reality representation (MRR) of a real-world local environmental context of a first target, different from the participant, comprising:
- accessing multiple views of the MRR;
- stitching together the multiple views of the MRR, wherein the MRR includes a portal to a first person view of a second MRR from a perspective of a second target;
- further to the participant accessing a communication from a the second target, enabling the participant to use the portal during a viewing session to traverse the second MRR, wherein the viewing session at least initially includes the first person view of the second MRR, and wherein the MRR includes at least one interactive element linked to the second MRR of the second target;
- providing an interface to the participant, wherein the interface is configured to present targeted context regarding the at least one interactive element associated with the second MRR;
- and
- updating the MRR of the first target during the session while the first target is physically located within the real-world local environmental context, wherein the updating the MRR of the first target includes a current geolocation of the first target, such that the updating occurs autonomously for the participant while the participant is accessing the MMR related to the first target.
