According to embodiments described in the specification, a method and system for replicating an application on an auxiliary computing device are provided. The system includes the auxiliary computing device, a mobile computing device executing the application, and at least one server. The server provides the auxiliary computing device with a web application, and the auxiliary computing device presents a code generated using the web application on its display. The mobile computing device captures the code, and uses the code to establish a connection with the auxiliary computing device via the server. The server then routes data between the auxiliary computing device, the mobile computing device and other devices. The data includes application control data, which is routed between the mobile computing device and the auxiliary computing device; and message data, which is routed between the mobile computing device and other devices.
