Abstract

According to examples, multiplatform based experience generation may include determining a set of connected devices that provide services related to virtual reality, and determining a platform type of each of the connected devices. Multiplatform based experience generation may further include receiving an indication of a modification to an intrinsic property of a virtual object on one of the set of connected devices, and generating, based on the received indication of the modification to the intrinsic property of the virtual object, a modification to a master version of the virtual object. Based on the platform type of another one of the set of connected devices and based on the modification to the master version of the virtual object, an indication of a modification to an intrinsic property of a virtual object on the another one of the set of connected devices may be generated.
