    Abstract: To reduce this amount of bandwidth needed to share 3D map images between mobile devices, according to some embodiments, a user's mobile device (i.e., a host device) may identify its origin in a 3D map and a current virtual camera position relative to the origin based on the physical position of the mobile device. The mobile device may send both the origin and the virtual camera position to another mobile device (i.e., a client device) for use in rendering a corresponding image. Separately, the client device may download the 3D map images from a server, e.g., in preparation for a meeting. In this manner, the host device may send the origin to the client device once, as well as send a data stream of the current virtual camera position for use in accessing the corresponding 3D map images at the client device.

    Abstract: Various embodiments of the disclosure pertain to an augmented or virtual reality interface for interacting with maps displayed from a virtual camera perspective on a mobile device. Instead of manipulating the position of the virtual camera using a touchscreen interface, some embodiments allow a spatial location of the mobile device to control the position of the virtual camera. For example, a user can tilt the mobile device to obtain different angles of the virtual camera. As another example, the user can move the mobile device vertically to change the height of the virtual camera, e.g., a higher altitude above the ground.
