Claim:
1. A method for conferencing, the method comprising: defining, by a computer system comprising one or more computer devices, a first reference point in a first space and a second reference point in a second space, the second space being remote from the first space; receiving, by the computer system, a first three-dimensional scan of the first space; receiving, by the computer system, a first imaging scan of the first space; generating, by the computer system, a first three-dimensional model of the first space using the first three-dimensional scan and the first imaging scan; receiving, by the computer system, a second three-dimensional scan of the second space; receiving, by the computer system, a second imaging scan of the second space; generating, by the computer system, a second three-dimensional model of the second space using the second three-dimensional scan and the second imaging scan; transmitting, by the computer system, a first representation of the first three-dimensional model to a second user located in the second space, the first representation being oriented such that the first reference point in the first three-dimensional model is mapped to the second reference point; and transmitting, by the computer system, a second representation of the second three-dimensional model to a first user located in the first space, the second representation being oriented such that the second reference point in the second three-dimensional model is mapped to the first reference point.
