## Abstract

A device control method is provided that includes: displaying comment information on a screen of a first device, where the comment information is used to visualize an operation interface of at least a part of functions of a second device, the first device is an augmented reality device or a virtual reality device, and the second device is a physical device; determining a third device, where the third device is a device in the physical world; and transmitting at least a part of data associated with the comment information to the third device. In this way, in a multi-device collaboration scenario, the first device visualizes operation interfaces of some functions of the second device, so that a user can control these operation interfaces, and after determining the third device, the user can hop the operation interfaces of the functions of the second device to the third device.
