This study provides insights into the right combination of devices in a co-design task, in this case, at designing a game level. The cross-reality systems enable users to connect and collaborate across the Reality-Virtuality continuum i.e., PC/Desktop, augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR) and virtual reality (VR). Co-design involves two or more users coming together to ideate a clear objective, and build using the appropriate tools for collaboration, design, testing, and refinement for the masses. It also considers the time and resources used throughout the process with constant and open communication. The simulation design is based on developing an application that allows two users to connect in a pairwise modality (Desktop-Desktop, VR-VR or Desktop-VR) and use the assets provided to design a game level. The users were given a layout of the level and factors based on which the level will be designed. The results are discussed, and future work and conclusions are provided based on them.
