Mixed-reality teleconferencing across multiple locations

A system comprising:

• a memory having computer readable instructions;
• and
• one or more processors for executing the computer readable instructions, the computer readable instructions controlling the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• detecting a position of a first user seated at a first conference table at a second location;
• detecting a position of a second user seated at a second conference table at a first location:
• overlaying a graphical representation of a first user onto a real-world image of second conference table at the first location, wherein the graphical representation of a first user is overlayed at the second conference table based on the position of the second user at the second conference table;
• overlaying, by the processor, a graphical representation of the second user onto a real-world image of first conference table at the second location, wherein the graphical representation of a second user is overlayed at the first conference table based on the position of the first user at the first conference table;
• designating, by the processor, the graphical representation of the first user and the graphical representation of the second user as interaction targets;
• detecting an interaction between the first user and a second user, wherein the second user is physically located at the first location;
• determining a current position of the second user at the first location;
• causing the graphical representation of the first user to face in a direction of the current position of the second user[[;]]based on the designation as interaction targets.

A computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• detecting a position of a first user seated at a first conference table at a second
• detecting a position of a second user seated at a second conference table at a first location;
• overlaying a graphical representation of a first user onto a real-world image of second conference table at the first location, wherein the graphical representation of a first user is overlayed at the based on the position of the second user at the second conference table;
• overlaying, by the processor, a graphical representation of the second user onto a real-world image of first conference table at the second location, wherein the graphical representation of a second user is overlayed at the first conference table based on the position of the first user at the first conference table;
• designating, by the processor, the graphical representation of the first user and the graphical representation of the second user as interaction targets;
• detecting an interaction between the first user and a second user, wherein the second user is physically located at the first location;
• determining a current position of the second user at the first location;
• causing the graphical representation of the first user to face in a direction of the current position of the second user based on the designation as interaction targets.
