In this paper, we present Collaborative Interactive Dynamic Environments for eXtended Reality (CIDER)—the first eXtended Reality (XR) platform to integrate Mixed Reality (MR) for co-located users and Virtual Reality (VR) for remote participants and collaboration through a fully automated pipeline that replicates entire physical environments. CIDER dynamically transforms a user's physical space into an interactive virtual environment, shareable with remote collaborators within seconds. It employs an efficient approach to represent, render, distribute, and synchronize virtual scenes, achieving interaction latencies.
