A 3-dimensional augmented reality (AR) world is a version of our “real” physical world augmented with virtual 3D objects that may be experienced by a user, such as someone who “sees” the virtual 3D objects through a smartphone or special eyewear. A shared 3D AR world is one in which multiple individuals can simultaneously experience the same augmented reality, even if they are not using the same devices. The shared 3D AR world is created by obtaining and synthesizing sensory and other inputs from various devices in use by different users, and providing augmented outputs adapted to different devices. The synthesis of a wide range of inputs allows the augmented reality effects to be realistic.
