Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed herein for establishing a communication path between devices that are virtually proximate in an XR environment. First and second user devices are connected to the same space in a virtual environment (VE). The first user device is externally connected to a media device. Device information about the media device is retrieved, and a virtual device for the media device is generated in the space. The virtual device is selected. A communication path between the first and second user devices is identified based on their respective connections to the same space. A virtual connection is generated based on the identified communication path for providing media content between the media device and the user devices.
