1. A method for virtual interactive presence comprising:
- rendering a common field of interest that reflects the physical presence of a remote user and a local user;
rendering interaction between the remote user and the local user in the common field of interest; and
continuously updating the common field of interest such that the presence of the remote user is rendered in real time to the local user and the presence of the local user is rendered in real time to the remote user.

6. A method for virtual interactive presence comprising:
-
rendering a local field of interest that reflects the physical presence of a local object, a volumetric image of the local object, and a local user; rendering interaction between the local object, the volumetric image, and the local user in the local field of interest; and continuously updating the local field of interest such that the presence of the local object and the volumetric image of the local object is rendered in real time to the local user. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A system for virtual interactive presence, comprising:
-
a virtual presence display, configured for displaying a common field of interest; a local sensor, configured for obtaining local virtual presence data; a network interface, configured for transmitting local virtual presence data and receiving remote virtual presence data; and a processor, coupled to the virtual presence display, the local sensor, and the network interface, wherein the processor is configured to perform steps comprising, rendering a common field of interest that reflects the physical presence of a remote user and a local user based on the local virtual presence data and the remote virtual presence data, rendering interaction between the remote user and the local user in the common field of interest, continuously updating the common field of interest such that the presence of the remote user is rendered in real time to the local user and the presence of the local user is rendered in real time to the remote user, and outputting the common field of interest to the virtual presence display. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)

21. A system for virtual interactive presence, comprising:
-
a virtual presence display, configured for displaying a local field of interest; a local sensor, configured for obtaining local virtual presence data; a processor, coupled to the virtual presence display and the local sensor, wherein the processor is configured to perform steps comprising, rendering a local field of interest that reflects the physical presence of a local object and a local user based on the local virtual presence data and a volumetric image of the local object, rendering interaction between the local object, the volumetric image, and the local user in the local field of interest, continuously updating the local field of interest such that the presence of the local object and the volumetric image of the local object is rendered in real time to the local user, and outputting the local field of interest to the virtual presence display. - View Dependent Claims (22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)
