Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to game consoles including game controllers and connected to one or more computing device. Specifically, a game console may receive, via a game controller, a first input triggering an activation of a multi-mode controller switching application at the game console. Further, while a multi-mode controller switching application is active and the game controller is operating in the first controller mode, the game console may receive, via the controller, a second input representing a selection of the second controller mode different from the first controller mode, switch from the first controller mode to the second controller mode in response to receiving the second input, and controlling the computing device in communication with the game console in accordance with the second controller mode.

Abstract: A system for streaming spatial audio and video is provided. In response to a request to share a virtual reality session, a characteristic of a second audio output device and a characteristic of a second video output device can be determined. Further in response to the request, based on the determined characteristic of the second audio output device, spatial audio can be provided to the second audio output device and received virtual reality video can be transcoded based on the determined characteristic of the second video output device. The transcoded virtual reality video can be provided to the second video output device so that other(s) can experience the virtual reality session.
