Original Abstract Submitted
examples are disclosed that relate to computing devices, head-mounted display devices and methods for remote collaborations. in one example a computing device receives receive a spatial mapping of a first three-dimensional environment and determines that a volumetric space in the spatial mapping satisfies at least one collaboration criterion. the collaboration criterion comprises a first object in the first three-dimensional environment and a second object in a second three-dimensional environment sharing a common semantic label. based on determining that the volumetric space satisfies the collaboration criterion, a shared hologram is displayed by a first display device at the first object in the first environment and by a second display device at the second object in the second three-dimensional environment.
