Multi-modality localization of users

A system for determining a physical location of a device of a user of an augmented reality environment corresponding to a physical space, the system comprising one or more processors configured performing the operations of:

• receiving a first list of participating devices having locations within the predetermined radius of a first device of a first user of the augmented reality environment;
• generating, based at least partly on advertising beacons and scanning beacons sent from the participating devices, a second list, wherein the second list comprises participating devices present in the physical space;
• performing simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) using the participating devices of the second list;
• generating, based at least partly on a wireless connection between one or more participating devices of the second list, a third list, wherein the third list comprises participating devices of the second list determined to be within a predetermined distance of one another;
• identifying the participating devices of the third list;
• generating an augmented reality representation of the physical space for display on one or more participating devices;
• and
• visually identifying the identified participating devices of the third list in the augmented reality representation.
