Cloud storage of geotagged maps

Abstract

A head mounted device provides an immersive virtual or augmented reality experience for viewing data and enabling collaboration among multiple users. Rendering images in a virtual or augmented reality system may include generating data regarding locations of surfaces and objects in a scene based on images and spatial data gathered from a first body mounted sensor device, generating a three dimensional map of the scene based on the generated data, adding geographical identification metadata to the three dimensional map of the scene, storing the geographical identification metadata and three dimensional map in a memory, and transmitting at least a portion of the geographical identification metadata and three dimensional map to a second body mounted sensor device.
