Systems and methods of implementing real-world ambient variance in augmented environments

A computer-implemented method of incorporating real-world limitations into a shared, environment, concurrently renderable by first and second users, comprising:

• receiving a user selection of a shared environment, wherein the shared environment represents a real-world environment;
• retrieving spatial data associated with the shared environment;
• retrieving environmental sensor data associated with the shared environment, wherein the environmental sensor data captures a varying ambient environment of the shared environment, and wherein the environmental sensor data includes at least one of audio data and image data;
• rendering an avatar of the first user within the shared environment from a first third-person perspective;
• and
• rendering an avatar of the second user within the shared environment from a second third-person perspective.
