Authoring virtual and augmented reality environments via an XR collaboration application
First Claim
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- retrieving an XR template from a data repository, the XR template corresponding to a real-world and a virtual world representation of a select environment;
receiving, via a client device, an input to assign a marker to an object depicted within the XR template;
capturing, via the client device, virtual content to be associated with the marker;
associating the virtual content with the marker;
generating an appearance criterion that controls a display of the marker within the XR template;
generating an activation criterion that controls a display of the virtual content that is associated with the marker;
updating the XR template to create an updated XR template, the updated XR template including the marker, the appearance criterion, the activation criterion, and the virtual content;
storing the updated XR template;
generating an asset class that groups the virtual content, the appearance criterion, and the activation criterion that is associated with the marker;
identifying additional objects within an XR environment of the updated XR template that correspond to a same type of object as the object;
assigning the asset class to the additional objects, andwherein, the updated XR template is configured to include assigning the asset class to the additional objects.

Abstract
This disclosure describes techniques that facilitate generating or modifying a template application that provides an application user with interactive experience within a Virtual Reality (VR) environment, an Augmented Reality (AR) environment, or a combination of both (i.e. MR environment). Moreover, this disclosure describes an XR collaboration system that permits an XR author to generate or modify an XR template that is presented to an application user via XR environment-enabled client device. Specifically, an XR author may use the XR collaboration application to add, change, or remove markers within an XR template along with associated virtual content. Further, the XR author may configure appearance criteria associated with markers to control the criteria and sequential order that markers may appear within an XR environment. Similarly, activation criteria may control the appearance and sequential order of virtual content that is associated with markers within the XR environment.

8. One or more non-transitory computer-readable media storing computer-executable instructions that, when executed on one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform acts comprising:
-
retrieving an XR template from a data repository, the XR template corresponding to a real-world and a virtual world representation of a select environment; receiving, via a client device, an input to assign a marker to a physical object depicted within the XR template; assigning, via the client device, virtual content to the marker; generating an appearance criterion that controls a display of the marker within an XR environment of the XR template; generating activation criterion that controls a display of the virtual content associated with the marker; updating the XR template to create an updated XR template, the updated XR template including the marker, the appearance criterion, the activation criterion, and the virtual content; storing the updated XR template; generating an asset class that groups the virtual content, the appearance criterion, and the activation criterion that is associated with the marker; identifying additional physical objects within the XR environment of the updated XR template that correspond to a same type of physical object as the physical object; assigning the asset class to the additional physical objects, and wherein, the updated XR template is configured to include assigning the asset class to the additional physical objects. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11)

12. A system comprising:
-
one or more processors; memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including one or more modules that are executable by the one or more processors to; retrieve an XR template from a data repository, the XR template corresponding to a real-world and a virtual world representation of a select environment; receive, via a client device, an input to assign a marker to a physical object depicted within the XR template; assign, via the client device, virtual content to the marker; generate appearance criterion that control a display of the marker associated with the physical object; generate activation criterion that controls a display of the virtual content associated with the marker; update the XR template to create an updated XR template, the updated XR template including the marker, the appearance criterion, the activation criterion, and the virtual content; storing the updated XR template; generating an asset class that groups the virtual content, the appearance criterion, and the activation criterion that is associated with the marker; identifying additional physical objects within an XR environment of the updated XR template that correspond to a same type of physical object as the physical object; assigning the asset class to the additional physical objects, and wherein, the updated XR template is configured to include assigning the asset class to the additional physical objects. - View Dependent Claims (13, 14)
