Synchronization between screens

A method for providing synchronization between screens, the method comprising:

• mounting a first display in a fixed position;
• coupling a computer system to the first display;
• and
• establishing an optical link between the first display and a second display, wherein:
• the second display is a part of a handheld computing device;
• the first display is larger than the second display;
• the first display has a wider field of view than the second display;
• rendering a virtual reality model of a scene with moving objects and asynchronous visual events on the first display, wherein the scene and the asynchronous visual events rendered on the first display are also rendered on the second display;
• embedding a machine-readable code in asynchronous visual events;
• reading the machine-readable code by the handheld computing device;
• scanning the machine-readable code, having coordinates of the asynchronous visual events and coordinates of the moving objects within the scene, by the handheld computing device;
• transmitting the coordinates of the asynchronous visual events and the coordinates of the moving objects within the scene to one or more remote computing devices by the handheld computing device using one or more wireless link;
• and
• transforming the virtual reality model of the scene rendered on the first display in response to transmission of the coordinates of the asynchronous visual events and the coordinates of the moving objects within the scene.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions embedded thereon for providing synchronization between screens, wherein the instructions, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to:

• mount a first display in a fixed position;
• couple a computer system to the first display;
• and
• establish an optical link between the first display and a second display, wherein:
• the second display is a part of a handheld computing device;
• the first display is larger than the second display;
• the first display has a wider field of view than the second display;
• rendering a virtual reality model of a scene with moving objects and asynchronous visual events on the first display, wherein the scene and the asynchronous visual events rendered on the first display are also rendered on the second display;
• embed a machine-readable code in asynchronous visual events;
• read the machine-readable code by the handheld computing device;
• scan the machine-readable code having coordinates of the asynchronous visual events and coordinates of the moving objects within the scene;
• transmit the coordinates of the asynchronous visual events and the coordinates of the moving objects within the scene by the handheld computing device using one or more wireless link;
• and
• transform the virtual reality model of the scene rendered on the first display in response to transmission of the coordinates of the asynchronous visual events and the coordinates of the moving objects within the scene.
