_Include the following details (edit as applicable):_

- **Issue category** : Multiplayer
- **Device type & OS version** : Android
- **Host machine & OS version** : Mac
- **Issue Environment** : Unity Remote / Unity Mock / On Device
- **ARDK version** : 2.5.1
- **Unity version** : 2022.2.14

Description of the issue:

I would love to know that the general approach is of developing a shared AR experience. Is there a way to connect a mock client (that just stands still)?

Can’t imagine that every single dive is running around with 2 devices in his hands. 😉

Thanks for any advice

Hello,

You can have a look at our [mock multiplayer documentation](https://lightship.dev/docs/ardk/tools/vs_mock_mode.html#mock-multiplayer) for more information on how to test a multiplayer setup. Please let me know if you have any more questions.
