1. A method for an image-captured initialization of an array of devices, said method implemented by a processor comprising the steps of:
receiving a video stream featuring a plurality of end devices in a gaming station, wherein said end device renders at least one of a lighting, haptic, or air-blowing effect from a specific location within the gaming station;
detecting, by the processor, the plurality of end devices by vision processing at least a frame of the gaming station stream; and
positioning a virtual representation of the detected end devices on a digital canvas representing a user's physical space based on a tonal frequency-dependent light-emission from a frequency-defined end device.
