When collaborating on virtual content within 360° mixed reality environments it is often desirable for collaborators to fully immerse themselves within the task space, usually by means of a head-mounted display. However, these socially isolate any co-located collaborators, removing the ability to communicate through important gestural, facial, and body language cues. We present TeleGate, a system that instead utilises a shared immersive display to allow collaboration within remote environments between an arbitrary number of users, keeping collaborators visible while allowing immersive and interactive collaboration within remote environments.
