APPARATUS FOR ADAPTING VIRTUAL GAMING WITH REAL WORLD INFORMATION

摘要

A server device that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a memory and a processor. The processor can identify first and second players present at first and second physical locations, to identify first and second boundary and topographical information of the first and second physical locations, to map the first and second boundary and topographical information of the first and second physical locations to a virtual gaming space, to capture first and second position and orientation information for the first and second players, to map the first and second position and orientation information to the virtual gaming space, to generate first and second virtual players corresponding to the first and second players, and to transmit to first goggles information representative of the second virtual player for display superimposed onto a transparent viewing apparatus for viewing of the virtual gaming space. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

主权项

1. A machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a communication device including a processor, facilitate performance of operations, comprising:
receiving first information representative of a computer-controlled avatar generated by an application, wherein the computer-controlled avatar is mapped by the application to a first position at a physical region; determining a second position of the communication device at the physical region; presenting the computer-controlled avatar superimposed onto a depiction of at least a portion of the physical region at a display associated with the communication device according to the first information representative of the computer-controlled avatar, wherein the first position of the computer-controlled avatar is depicted relative to the second position of the communication device; capturing, from a user interface, second information associated with targeting of the computer-controlled avatar that is superimposed onto the display; detecting according to third information provided by the application an occurrence of a virtual hit of the computer-controlled avatar based on the targeting of the computer-controlled avatar; and responsive to detection of the virtual hit of the computer-controlled avatar, presenting the virtual hit at the display.
