Systems and methods to provide a shared interactive experience across multiple presentation devices

Abstract:

This disclosure presents systems and methods to provide a shared augmented reality experience across multiple presentation devices. A first presentation device may display an AR marker, and may use a map of the physical environment to correctly orient the AR marker with an orientation of an anchor object. A second presentation device may then scan the marker, which places the anchor object in the position and orientation in their perceived views of the virtual environment in accordance with the marker. Once the location of the anchor object is established, networking between the first and second devices can be used to place other virtual objects in the virtual environment.
