1. A graphics apparatus, comprising:

  • a processor;

    memory communicatively coupled to the processor; and

    a collaboration engine communicatively coupled to the processor to;

    determine one or more of a viewport difference between first and second viewports or an orientation difference between first and second orientations, wherein the first viewport and the first orientation are associated with a first user of two or more users, and the second orientation and the second viewport are associated with a second user of the two or more users;

    if the one or more of the viewport difference or the orientation difference is under a threshold, identify that a displayable object is to be part of a shared graphics component, wherein the displayable object is to be an augmented reality object or a virtual reality object, wherein the displayable object is to be rendered for the first user and the second user at a same orientation and a same position;

    if the one or more of the viewport difference or the orientation difference is over the threshold, identify that the displayable object is not to be part of the shared graphics component so that the displayable object is to be rendered for the first user and the second user at one or more of different orientations or different positions;

    generate the shared graphics component; and

    share the shared graphics component with the first and second users.
