Virtually representing spaces and objects while maintaining physical properties

Abstract

Systems and techniques from displaying virtual representations of real-world spaces and objects in various environments are disclosed. A source environment at a first location can be scanned by a head-mounted display (HMD) device to generate three-dimensional datasets corresponding to the physical environment at the first location. The three-dimensional datasets can include detected physical properties associated with the physical environment. At a second location, the HMD can re-create the source environment, and render for display a virtual representation of the physical environment based on the three-dimensional datasets, where the virtual representation of the source environment is rendered to maintain any one of the detected physical properties associated with the physical environment. Further, at the second location, the HMD can enable a user to view one or more physical objects within the virtual representation of the physical environment such that the physical object is perceived to be within the source environment.
