Abstract
Techniques for sharing across environments are described. Generally, different types of input may be employed to share content, such as using a pen, a stylus, a finger, touchless gesture input, and so forth. According to various embodiments, content may be shared between devices in local proximity, and/or between devices that are remote from one another. In at least some embodiments, content is shared based on an identity of a sharing user and/or sharing device.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more processors;
- and
- one or more computer-readable storage media storing computer-executable instructions that, responsive to execution by the one or more processors, cause the system to perform operations including:
- detecting an interaction with content presented as part of a first virtual reality environment;
- recognizing a share gesture for sharing the content from the first virtual reality environment to a second virtual reality environment, the second virtual reality environment being displayed separately from the first virtual reality environment;
- and
- causing the content to be shared to the second virtual reality environment responsive to said recognizing.
4 more elements
The method comprising:
- detecting a share gesture to share content from a first visual representation of a first workspace associated with a first user to a second visual representation of a second workspace associated with a second user, the first visual representation and the second visual representation being displayed as part of a single virtual reality environment;
- and
- causing the content to be shared to the second workspace in response to the share gesture.
The method comprising:
- detecting manipulation of pen by a first user to provide input to an environment;
- causing first content from a digital clipboard associated with the first user to be shared to the environment responsive to said manipulation of the pen by the first user and based on an identity of the first user ascertained in conjunction with the manipulation of the pen by the first user;
- detecting manipulation of the pen by a second user to provide input to the environment;
- and
- causing second content from a digital clipboard associated with the second user to be shared to the environment responsive to said manipulation of the pen by the second user and based on an identity of the second user ascertained in conjunction with the manipulation of the pen by the second user
