Abstract:

Systems and methods for generating real-time 3D representation of a user immersed in a 3D representation of an area of interest are provided. In some embodiments, a method may be provided where the method provide steps for generating a three-dimensional area of interest based at least on substantially real-time data, generating an avatar immersed in the generated three-dimensional area of interest for each user of a plurality of users, animating each avatar immersed in the generated three-dimensional representation of area of interest based at least on gesture data received from one or more cameras associated to each user of the plurality of users, and manipulating objects represented in the three-dimensional representation of the area of interest.
