SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VIRTUAL VIEWING OF PHYSICAL EVENTS

摘要

The present application is directed to systems and methods for generating virtual viewing of physical events. Event participants may have GPS receivers and data collection modules installed in vehicles, such as cars for vehicle racing events, boats for sailing races, planes for air races or acrobatic shows, or similar entities, or within equipment, such as helmets, padding, packs, or similar gear, as well as transmitters capable of sending the GPS data and collected data to local receivers for collation and processing. The data may be provided to a virtualizatkra engine, which may generate a virtual environment, modeled on the real world environment in which the event occurs. The virtiialization engine may use the received data to generate virtual objects representing each event participant and/or their vehicle, may place the virtual objects within the virtual environment at locations determined by positioning data, and may render images or video from one or more virtual cameras within the virtual environment for display for clients.
