Systems and methods for providing a virtual space for multiple devices can include a first device having at least one sensor configured to acquire a spatial information of a physical space of the first device. The first device may include at least one processor configured to establish, according to the acquired spatial information, a virtual space corresponding to the physical space, that is accessible by a user of the first device via the first device. The at least one processor may further be configured to register a second device within the physical space, to allow a user of the second device to access the virtual space via the second device.

Systems and methods for maintaining virtual spaces

Systems and methods for maintaining a shared interactive environment include receiving, by a server, requests to register a first input device of a first user and a second input device of a second user with a shared interactive environment. The first input device may be for a first modality involving user input for an augmented reality (AR) environment, and the second input device may be for a second modality involving user input for a personal computer (PC) based virtual environment or a virtual reality (VR) environment. The server may register the first and second input device with the shared interactive environment. The server may receive inputs from a first adapter for the first modality and from a second adapter for the second modality. The inputs may be for the first and second user to use the shared interactive environment.

Systems and methods for a shared interactive environment

The disclosed computer-implemented method may include tracking, using a low-order degree-of-freedom (DOF) mode, an orientation of a device based on input from an inertial measurement unit (IMU) of the device. The method may also include determining, using a magnetometer, that the device has entered a magnetic tracking volume defined by at least one magnet and in response to determining that the device has entered the magnetic tracking volume, transitioning from the low-order DOF mode to a high-order DOF mode that tracks a higher number of DOFs than the low-order DOF mode. The method may also include tracking, using the high-order DOF mode, the position and orientation of the device based on input from both the IMU and the magnetometer. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
