Systems and methods for accessing an interaction state between multiple devices
First Claim
1. A method comprising:
- storing contextual information that associates a state of a head-mounted display (HMD) with information that is associated with an interaction with a first application on the HMD to describe an interaction state on the HMD, wherein the state of the HMD comprises information about one or more applications of the HMD which are executed to provide predetermined functionality;
selecting a second device capable to provide access to the interaction state on the second device via a second application using the stored contextual information;
making a determination of attributes of the second device; and
based on the determination, the HMD transferring to the second device the stored contextual information and information associated with a user input to the first application on the HMD such that the second device is capable to provide via the second application access to the interaction state according to the user input to the first application.

Abstract
The present application discloses systems and methods for accessing digital content between multiple devices. The systems and methods may be directed to providing access to an interaction with a first application on a head-mounted display (HMD) to a second device. Contextual information relating information of the HMD and information associated with the interaction to describe an interaction state may be stored. A second device may be selected upon which the interaction state may be accessed and a determination of attributes of the second device may be made. The HMD may transfer to the second device the stored contextual information such that the second device may provide via the second application access to the interaction state. Information associated with a user input to the first application may also be transferred. In one example, the contextual information may describe an identified occurrence of digital content accessed via the first application.
