Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, predicting a field of view of a viewer to obtain a predicted field of view based on information about the viewer and a scoring of a point of interest in media content. A line of sight is obtained between the viewer and a presentation of the media content to obtain a viewer line of sight, and the scoring of the point of interest in the media content is updated to obtain an updated scoring based on the viewer line of sight, the predicted field of view being updated according to the updated scoring. Other embodiments are disclosed.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject disclosure may include, for example, scanning, by an augmented reality system, a local environment which includes an object. The scanning includes identifying one or more characteristics of the object such as its size or shape. The subject disclosure may further include providing, to a display device of a local user in the local environment, local image information of the object from a viewing perspective of the local user and providing, to a display device of a remote user in a remote environment, remote image information of the object from a viewing perspective of the remote user. The subject disclosure may further include detecting a local user interaction with the object, detecting a release of control of the object by the local user to control of the object by the remote user, and providing updated local image information of the object to the display device of the local user and providing updated remote image information to the display device of the remote user based on the release of control of the object. Other embodiments are disclosed.
