Abstract: Methods and systems are provided for collaborating in the discovery of Head-Mounted Devices (HMDs) configured for hosting a co-located virtual, augmented, or mixed reality (xR) session. An HMD issues a request to join a co-located xR session. Participating in a co-located xR session requires a joining HMD to obtain authorization from a host HMD. A joining HMD may be located such that direct communications between the joining HMD and the host HMD are either unreliable, or beyond the capabilities of two HMDs. The joining HMD may collaborate with neighboring HMDs to obtain authorization from a host HMD. The host HMD aggregates information from joining HMDs to determine the authorized HMDs and to determine the most reliable forms of direct communication between each pair of HMDs participating in the xR session.
