A computer storage medium storing computer-useable instructions that, when used by one or more computing devices , cause the one or more computing devices to perform operations for facilitating intuitive collaboration on visual data in augmented reality environments, the operations comprising: detecting an interaction between a first HMD and a second HMD , the first HMD having a first viewing placement, and the second HMD having a second viewing placement, and wherein the interaction is detected based at least in part on the first viewing placement relative to the second viewing placement, wherein the viewing placement is a detected position and/or orientation of the respective HMD relative to a point of origin; based at least in part on the detected interaction, transmitting , to the second HMD, a request for a set of visual data that corresponds to a state of the second HMD, wherein the visual data comprises a current augmented view of the second HMD or a stored copy thereof; receiving , from the second HMD, a portion of the set of visual data based at least in part on a determination that the first and second HMDs are participants of an collaborative augmented reality environment to share visual data with participants; and rendering , by the first HMD, at least the received portion of the set of visual data; wherein the state of the second HMD is a second augmented view that is rendered or provided for display, by the second HMD, in accordance with the second viewing placement; and wherein the first HMD renders a new or additional object augmented to the existing augmented view of the first HMD, the object being based on at least the received portion of the set of visual data, in a position that is perceivable, by a user of the first HMD, as being adjacent to the second HMD or another user of the second HMD. detecting an interaction between a first HMD and a second HMD , the first HMD having a first viewing placement, and the second HMD having a second viewing placement, and wherein the interaction is detected based at least in part on the first viewing placement relative to the second viewing placement, wherein the viewing placement is a detected position and/or orientation of the respective HMD relative to a point of origin; based at least in part on the detected interaction, transmitting , to the second HMD, a request for a set of visual data that corresponds to a state of the second HMD, wherein the visual data comprises a current augmented view of the second HMD or a stored copy thereof; receiving , from the second HMD, a portion of the set of visual data based at least in part on a determination that the first and second HMDs are participants of an collaborative augmented reality environment to share visual data with participants; and rendering , by the first HMD, at least the received portion of the set of visual data; wherein the state of the second HMD is a second augmented view that is rendered or provided for display, by the second HMD, in accordance with the second viewing placement; and wherein the first HMD renders a new or additional object augmented to the existing augmented view of the first HMD, the object being based on at least the received portion of the set of visual data, in a position that is perceivable, by a user of the first HMD, as being adjacent to the second HMD or another user of the second HMD. <EOS>
