Augmenting a view of a real-world environment with a view of a volumetric video object

A method of augmenting a view of a real-world environment with a view of a volumetric video object on a user device, the method comprising the steps of:

• determining a current pose information (CPI) indicating a current pose of the view of the real-world environment and a desired pose of the volumetric video object in the real-world environment;
• sending the current pose information to a remote server;
• receiving a rendered view of the volumetric video object that has been rendered in accordance with the current pose information from the remote server;
• and
• augmenting the view of the real-world environment by at least mapping the rendered view of the volumetric video object onto a planar mapping surface arranged according to the desired position of the volumetric video object;
• wherein the planar mapping surface is oriented such that the rendered view of the volumetric video object is projected into the view of the real-world environment substantially free of perspective distortion.
