Disclosed herein are systems and methods for sharing and synchronizing virtual content. A method may include receiving, from a host application via a wearable device comprising a transmissive display, a first data package comprising first data; identifying virtual content based on the first data; presenting a view of the virtual content via the transmissive display; receiving, via the wearable device, first user input directed at the virtual content; generating second data based on the first data and the first user input; sending, to the host application via the wearable device, a second data package comprising the second data, wherein the host application is configured to execute via one or more processors of a computer system remote to the wearable device and in communication with the wearable device.
1. A wearable device comprising:
a transmissive display;
an input device; and
one or more processors configured to execute a method comprising:
receiving, from a host application via the wearable device, a first data package comprising first data;
identifying virtual content based on the first data;
presenting a view of the virtual content via the transmissive display;
receiving, via the input device, first user input directed at the virtual content;
generating second data based on the first data and the first user input; and
sending, to the host application via the wearable device, a second data package comprising the second data,
wherein:
receiving the first data package from the host application comprises receiving the first data package from a host application executing via a second one or more processors of a computer system remote to the wearable device and in communication with the wearable device,
the virtual content comprises an asset,
identifying virtual content based on the first data comprises identifying the asset in an asset library, and
presenting the view of the virtual content comprises presenting a view of the asset identified in the asset library.
2. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the host application comprises a computer-aided drawing application.
3. The wearable device of claim 1 , the method further comprising:
receiving second user input; and
modifying the view of the virtual content based on the second user input.
4. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein:
the first data corresponds to a first state of the asset, and
the host application is configured to modify the first state of the asset based on the second data.
5. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein:
the first data comprises data representing a change between a first state of the asset and an earlier state of the asset.
6. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein receiving the first data package from the host application comprises receiving the first data package via a first helper application configured to execute via the second one or more processors of the computer system remote to the wearable device.
7. The wearable device of claim 1 , wherein the asset comprises a 3D asset.
8. A method comprising:
receiving, from a host application via a wearable device comprising a transmissive display, a first data package comprising first data;
identifying virtual content based on the first data;
presenting a view of the virtual content via the transmissive display;
receiving, via an input device of the wearable device, first user input directed at the virtual content;
generating second data based on the first data and the first user input; and
sending, to the host application via the wearable device, a second data package comprising the second data,
wherein:
receiving the first data package from the host application comprises receiving the first data package from a host application executing via a second one or more processors of a computer system remote to the wearable device and in communication with the wearable device,
the virtual content comprises an asset,
identifying virtual content based on the first data comprises identifying the asset in an asset library, and
presenting the view of the virtual content comprises presenting a view of the asset identified in the asset library.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the host application comprises a computer-aided drawing application.
10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:
receiving second user input; and
modifying the view of the virtual content based on the second user input.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein:
the first data corresponds to a first state of the asset, and
the host application is configured to modify the first state of the asset based on the second data.
12. The method of claim 8 , wherein:
the first data comprises data representing a change between a first state of the asset and an earlier state of the asset.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein receiving the first data package from the host application comprises receiving the first data package via a first helper application configured to execute via the second one or more processors of the computer system remote to the wearable device.
14. The method of claim 8 , wherein the asset comprises a 3D asset.
15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more processors of a wearable device comprising a transmissive display, cause the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
receiving, from a host application via the wearable device, a first data package comprising first data;
identifying virtual content based on the first data;
presenting a view of the virtual content via the transmissive display;
receiving, via an input device of the wearable device, first user input directed at the virtual content;
generating second data based on the first data and the first user input;
sending, to the host application via the wearable device, a second data package comprising the second data,
wherein:
receiving the first data package from the host application comprises receiving the first data package from a host application executing via a second one or more processors of a computer system remote to the wearable device and in communication with the wearable device,
the virtual content comprises an asset,
identifying virtual content based on the first data comprises identifying the asset in an asset library, and
presenting the view of the virtual content comprises presenting a view of the asset identified in the asset library.
