Re-creation of virtual environment through a video call

An improved human-computer interface ("HCI") is disclosed herein for viewing a three-dimensional ("3D") representation of a real-world environment from different, changing, and/or multiple perspectives. An AR device may capture, in real-time, a 3D representation of a scene using a surface reconstruction ("SR") camera and a traditional Red Green & Blue ("RGB") camera. The 3D representation may be transmitted to and viewed on a user's computing device, enabling the user to navigate the 3D representation. The user may view the 3D representation in a free-third-person mode, enabling the user to virtually walk or fly through the representation captured by the AR device. The user may also select a floor plan mode for a top-down or isomorphic perspective. Enabling a user to view a scene from different perspectives enhances understanding, speeds trouble-shooting, and fundamentally improves the capability of the computing device, the AR device, and the combination thereof.
