Original Abstract Submitted
systems and methods described herein may provide a system that enables game play or other application sessions from a set of candidate game hosts and environments to consumption devices of a user's choice while the user moves about their home between the different environments. the system may employ methods to determine where a user is located within the home, availability and selection of candidate game hosting and target environments, homing and direction of related i/o and audio-visual (av) content for consumption. the solution accommodates multiple users simultaneously within the home, whether in single player, multiplayer using the same screen, or multiplayer using separate screen games. the solution may configure av and input/output (i/o) such that multiple users can consume one or multiple games in the home simultaneously, whether in separate locations or when seated together in front of the same consumption device.
