Abstract
Systems and methods for a controlling a shared virtual environment are provided. The systems and methods includes a public display connects to a reflector via a network. A shared virtual environment is replicated on the public display. A QR code is displayed on the public display for scanning by a mobile device. The QR code includes instructions to download a controller interface and location of the reflector. The mobile device provides inputs, via the reflector, to the shared virtual environment. This causes mirroring of computations on each of the plurality of objects across the shared virtual environment deterministically. Further, a new message from the reflector with an appended timestamp is transmitted to advance time within the public display. Inputs from the mobile device may include a touchscreen input corresponding to rendered joysticks and buttons, and/or an accelerometer input after position of the mobile device has been calibrated related to the public display.
