Abstract

Claims (70)

1 . A method implemented in a device, comprising operations for:

displaying a volumetric video as a holographic projection;

in response to identifying one or more user actions of a user at the device with the holographic projection of the volumetric video,

updating the volumetric video; and

displaying an updated holographic projection of the updated volumetric video that indicates the one or more user actions of the user;

receiving additional content for the updated volumetric video from a plurality of other devices, wherein the additional content comprises one or more user actions of other users at the plurality of other devices;

aggregating the additional content from the plurality of other devices with the updated volumetric video to generate an aggregated volumetric video that indicates the one or more user actions of the user and the one or more user actions of the other users; and

displaying a further updated holographic projection based on the aggregated volumetric video.

2 . The method implemented in the device of claim 1 , further comprising operations for:

sending the updated volumetric video to the plurality of other devices.

3 . The method implemented in the device of claim 1 , further comprising operations for:

providing a recommendation of a folding angle for a display screen of the device.

displaying a yet further updated holographic projection of the updated aggregated volumetric video with the voice input.

7 . The method implemented in the device of claim 1 , wherein users at the device and at the plurality of other devices work collaboratively on the volumetric video.

8 . A computer program product, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program code embodied therewith, the program code executable by at least one processor of a device to perform operations for:

displaying a volumetric video as a holographic projection;

in response to identifying one or more user actions of a user at the device with the holographic projection of the volumetric video,

updating the volumetric video; and

displaying an updated holographic projection of the updated volumetric video that indicates the one or more user actions of the user;

receiving additional content for the updated volumetric video from a plurality of other devices, wherein the additional content comprises one or more user actions of other users at the plurality of other devices;

aggregating the additional content from the plurality of other devices with the updated volumetric video to generate an aggregated volumetric video that indicates the one or more user actions of the user and the one or more user actions of the other users; and

displaying a further updated holographic projection based on the aggregated volumetric video.

9 . The computer program product of claim 8 , wherein the program code is executable by the at least one processor to perform further operations for:

sending the updated volumetric video to the plurality of other devices.
