MRUnion: Asymmetric Task-Aware 3D Mutual Scene Generation of Dissimilar Spaces for Mixed Reality Telepresence

This 10-minute IEEE conference talk presents "MRUnion: Asymmetric Task-Aware 3D Mutual Scene Generation of Dissimilar Spaces for Mixed Reality Telepresence," a novel approach to mixed reality telepresence. Learn how this innovative pipeline addresses a critical challenge in MR telepresence applications where differences between participants' physical environments can hinder effective collaboration. Discover how MRUnion enables users in asymmetric telecollaboration scenarios to access their entire room while maintaining communication with remote users in a shared space—overcoming limitations of existing intersection methods that make large portions of rooms and task resources inaccessible. Presented by researchers from Technical University of Munich and University of Stuttgart as part of the "Teleoperation and telepresence" session at IEEE VR 2025.
