Pluggable components for augmenting device streams

A method for providing stream augmenting components, comprising:

• initializing a stream augmenting component having an augmentation function indicating a plurality of interfaces to multiple devices and an output stream;
• accessing at least a portion of the plurality of interfaces to the multiple devices to obtain stream output from the multiple devices and control a first device of the multiple devices by modifying, based on the stream output received for at least a second device of the multiple devices, the stream output obtained from the first device;
• virtualizing a plurality of stream outputs from the multiple devices to the output stream at least in part by modifying or correlating data received over the plurality of stream outputs;
• and
• outputting, by the stream augmenting component, the output stream to one or more other stream augmenting components or applications via at least a portion of one or more interfaces exposed by a stream server.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising code executable by one or more processors for providing stream augmenting components, the code comprising code for:

• initializing a stream augmenting component having an augmentation function indicating a plurality of interfaces to multiple devices and an output stream;
• accessing at least a portion of the plurality of interfaces to the multiple devices to obtain stream output from the multiple devices and control a first device of the multiple devices by modifying, based on the stream output received for at least a second device of the multiple devices, the stream output obtained from the first device;
• virtualizing a plurality of stream outputs from the multiple devices to the output stream at least in part by modifying or correlating data received over the plurality of stream outputs;
• and
• outputting, by the stream augmenting component, the output stream to one or more other stream augmenting components or applications via at least a portion of one or more interfaces exposed by a stream server.
