AUGMENTED REALITY SPACES WITH ADAPTIVE RULES

摘要

A system for generating a virtual gaming environment based on features identified within a real-world environment, and adapting the virtual gaming environment over time as the features identified within the real-world environment change is described. Utilizing the technology described, a person wearing a head-mounted display device (HMD) may walk around a real-world environment and play a virtual game that is adapted to that real-world environment. For example, the HMD may identify environmental features within a real-world environment such as five grassy areas and two cars, and then spawn virtual monsters based on the location and type of the environmental features identified. The location and type of the environmental features identified may vary depending on the particular real-world environment in which the HMD exists and therefore each virtual game may look different depending on the particular real-world environment.

主权项

1. A method for generating an augmented reality environment, comprising:
displaying one or more images corresponding with a first virtual object within the augmented reality environment using a mobile device; detecting a particular sound while displaying the one or more images; determining a distance between the first virtual object within the augmented reality environment and the mobile device displaying the one or more images; setting a degree of transparency for the first virtual object based on the distance between the first virtual object within the augmented reality environment and the mobile device in response to detecting the particular sound; generating one or more new images corresponding with the first virtual object based on the degree of transparency; and displaying the one or more new images corresponding with the first virtual object within the augmented reality environment using the mobile device in response to detecting the particular sound.
