1. A system configured to extend views of virtual content across multiple platforms, the system comprising:
one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
control one or more image-forming components incorporated into a host device comprising a head mounted display (HMD) wearable by a user of the host device, the one or more image-forming components being controlled to generate light rays to form a first set of images of virtual content, the one or more image-forming components being configured to present the first set of images to the user superimposed over views of a real world location of the user to create a first view of an interactive space on the HMD where the virtual content is perceived by the user of the host device to be at a first location in the real world location and perceived to have a first heading within the interactive space in relation to a point of view of the user of the host device corresponding to a location and a heading of the host device in the real world location;
determine relative location information, the relative location information conveying a location of a mobile computing platform in the real world location relative to the location of the host device in the real world location, and including information about a location and heading of the mobile computing platform in the real-world location relative to the location and heading of the host device; and
effectuate communication of information to the mobile computing platform defining the virtual content including the first location and the first heading in relation to the point of view of the user of the host device, and defining the relative location information of the mobile computing platform relative to the location of the host device,
wherein the one or more image-forming components include a light source configured to emit the light rays forming the first set of images of the virtual content and an optical element configured to receive the light rays emitted by the light source and provide the light rays to at least one eye of the user,
wherein the information defining the virtual content and the relative location information of the mobile computing platform relative to the location of the host device is configured to cause the mobile computing platform to generate a second view of the interactive space on a display of the mobile computing platform including: i) an image of the host device and user at a position representing the user's location in the real world, and ii) a second set of images of the virtual content, the second set of images of the virtual content being superimposed over views of the real world location by the mobile computing platform, where the second set of images of the virtual content on the display of the mobile computing platform is perceived to be at the first location in the real world as perceived by the user of the host device, and having a second heading within the interactive space,
wherein the first view corresponds to a first field of view of the real world location from the point of view of the user of the host device and the second view corresponds to a second field of view of the real world location from a point of view of the mobile computing platform,
wherein the mobile computing platform is configured to obtain view information for the second view derived from output signals generated by an image sensor coupled to the mobile computing platform, the view information defining the second field of view of the real world location over which the second set of images of the virtual content are superimposed,
wherein the second heading of the virtual content is different from the first heading of the virtual content, as determined based on the virtual content including the first location and the first heading of the virtual image in relation to the point of view of the user of the host device, and the relative location information of the mobile computing platform relative to the location of the host device, and
wherein the second heading of the second set of the images of the virtual content displayed on the mobile computing device relative to the image of the host device and user displayed on the mobile computing device is indicative of the first heading of the first set of images of the virtual content in relation to the point of view of the user of the host device.
