1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
initiating, by one or more processors, a virtual collaboration session between a first device and a second device by:
establishing, a first communication connection between the one or more processors and the first device,
establishing, a second communication connection, separate from the first communication connection, between the one or more processors and the second device,
causing a virtual environment to be presented by the first device and by the second device, the virtual environment representing a physical location, and
causing a view synchronization tool to be presented, by at least the first device, within the virtual environment;
receiving, by the one or more processors and from the first device, an input via the view synchronization tool, the input indicative of a first viewing perspective of the physical location, within the virtual environment, as illustrated by the first device;
causing, by the one or more processors and based at least in part on the input, the second device to illustrate the physical location, within the virtual environment, from a second viewing perspective matching the first viewing perspective;
receiving, by the one or more processors and from the first device, a data capture command indicative of a request for additional information associated with the physical location represented in the virtual environment; and
capturing, by the one or more processors and based at least in part on the data capture command, the additional information within the virtual environment.
