Systems and methods are described for providing co-presence in an augmented reality environment. The method may include controlling a first and second computing device to detect at least one plane associated with a scene of the augmented reality environment generated for a physical space, receiving, from the first computing device, a first selection of a first location within the scene and a first selection of a second location within the scene, generating a first reference marker corresponding to the first location and generating a second reference marker corresponding to the second location, receiving, from a second computing device, a second selection of the first location within the scene and a second selection of the second location within the scene, generating a reference frame and providing the reference frame to the first computing device and to the second computing device to establish co-presence in the augmented reality environment.
