An example method includes receiving, by a first computing device, a command regarding operation of an application. A first version of the application is configured to execute on the first computing device and a second version of the application is configured to execute on a second computing device that has a different form factor than the first computing device. In response to receiving the command, the first computing device may determine a series of instructions that cause the first version of the application to display visual representations of an activity on the first computing device synchronized to displayed visual representations of the activity on the second computing device. The displayed visual representations are respectively adapted to the form factors of the first and the second computing devices. The first computing device may execute the determined series of instructions.

Device synchronization

Example embodiments for interactive lighting handshakes are described herein. An example interactive system may detect a user in a position proximate to an interface of the system and responsively determine an area that encompasses the position of the user. The interactive system may further cause a light system to illuminate the determined area using a light handshake. In some instances, the interactive system may perform a lighting handshake by illuminating a given aspect of the interface of the system and subsequently extending the illumination in a visual presentation from the interface to further encompass the position of the user.
