Coordinating Device Interaction To Enhance User Experience
First Claim
1. A method for coordinating interaction between one or more computing devices for one or more users participating in an interactive activity, the method comprising:
- identifying a reference point on a physical surface via a primary computing device, wherein the physical surface is utilized to render an interactive activity for one or more users, wherein the interactive activity is an interactive game;
communicating the reference point to one or more secondary computing devices, via the primary computing device;
coordinating an interaction between the primary computing device and the one or more secondary computing devices utilizing the reference point; and
rendering a user perspective image of the interactive game relative to the reference point on at least one of the physical surface or the one or more secondary computing devices via the primary computing device and the one or more secondary computing devices to the one or more users.

Abstract
A method for coordinating interaction between one or more computing devices for users participating in an interactive activity is provided. A reference point is identified on a physical surface via a primary computing device. The primary computing device may include a mobile computing device. The physical surface is utilized to render an interactive activity for one or more users. The reference point is communicated to one or more secondary computing devices, via the primary computing device. An interaction between the primary computing device and the secondary computing devices is coordinated utilizing the reference point. A user perspective image of the interactive game relative to the reference point is rendered on the physical surface via the primary computing device and the secondary computing devices to the users.

19. A method for coordinating interaction between one or more computing devices for one or more users participating in an interactive activity, the method comprising:
-
rendering a projected image relative to a reference point onto a physical surface, via a primary computing device; receiving user selection of a portion of the projected image rendered on the physical surface, via a secondary computing device; determining location coordinates of the portion of the projected image relative to the reference point; communicating the location coordinates to the secondary computing device, via the primary computing device; and re-projecting the portion of the projected image as an magnified image to the user, via the secondary computing device. - View Dependent Claims (20)
