Abstract
Some implementations provide improved user interfaces for interacting with a virtual environment. The virtual environment is presented by a display of a first device having an image sensor. The first device uses the image sensor to determine a relative position and orientation of a second device based on a marker displayed on a display of the second device. The first device uses the determined relative position of the second device to display a representation of the second device including virtual content in place of the marker.

A method comprising:
- at a first device comprising a processor, a computer-readable storage medium, an image sensor, and a first display:
- obtaining an image of a physical environment using the image sensor, the image comprising a marker displayed on a second display of a second device;
- determining a relative position and orientation of the second device to the first device based on the marker;
- and
- generating a control signal based on the relative position and orientation of the second device.

A method comprising:
- at a first device comprising a processor, a computer-readable storage medium, an image sensor, and a first display:
- obtaining an image of a physical environment using the image sensor, the image comprising a marker displayed on a second display, wherein the second display is a front facing display of a head mounted device (HMD);
- and
- determining a relative position and orientation of the HMD to the first device based on the marker.

A method comprising:
- at a first device comprising a processor, a computer-readable storage medium, an image sensor, and a first display:
- obtaining an image of a physical environment using the image sensor, the image comprising a depiction of a second device, the depiction of the second device comprising a depiction of a light-based indicator provided via a light source on the second device;
- synchronizing motion data generated via the second device with processing performed by the first device based on the depiction of the light-based indicator;
- and
- generating a control signal based on the synchronizing of the motion data.
