Mapping animation data to an avatar format for extended reality (xr) media communication sessions

Abstract

An example device for communicating augmented reality (AR) media data includes: a memory configured to store AR media data; and a processing system implemented in circuitry and configured to: receive mapping information including data defining mappings between a first framework defining input animations of an AR media communication session and corresponding output animations of a second framework to be used to animate a base avatar model of a user participating in the AR media communication session; receive an animation stream for the user, the animation stream including data for one or more of the input animations; determine a subset of the output animations to be used to animate the base avatar model of the user using the mapping information and the one or more of the input animations from the animation stream; and animate the base avatar model using the subset of the output animations.
