Patent ID: 11043038

Abstract:
A method of tracking a point of interest (POI) in an electronic three-dimensional (3D) viewing environment, comprising: capturing via an optical sensor and recording motions of an onsite user, wherein each motion comprises an image surrounding and a pose of the onsite user; displaying a snapshot to a remote user, wherein the snapshot is one of the recorded motions; receiving a POI indicator in the snapshot from the second user; estimating a 3D position of the POI in the electronic 3D viewing environment using the POI indicator data, a moving trajectory from each of the recorded motions to the snapshot, and an estimation of distance between the optical sensor to the POI center; and rendering and superimposing the POI indicator in the electronic 3D viewing environment to be displayed to the onsite user using the estimated 3D position of the POI, the moving trajectory, and the recorded motions.
