Abstract

Aspects of the present disclosure involve a system comprising a computer-readable storage medium storing at least one program, method, and user interface to facilitate a shared control of a virtual object by two or more users. A virtual object is displayed by a first device, for example, as part of an augmented reality experience where the display of the object is overlaid on a real-world environment. User input indicative of a modification to the virtual object is received. The virtual object is modified, and a modified virtual object is displayed by a second device.
