发明名称 Systems and methods for transporting physical objects from real physical life into virtual worlds
摘要 Systems and methods for transporting physical objects from real physical life into virtual worlds. Briefly stated, the method includes receiving characteristic and structure data from an object constructed in the real world. The characteristic and structure data is obtained from the object using a plurality of sensors placed in the vicinity of the object to sense the characteristics and structure of the object. The characteristic and structure data of the object is used to produce code necessary to create an equivalent representation of the object in a virtual world.

主权项 1. A method for converting a real-world object composed of a plurality of interconnected modular components into a virtual-world object, the method comprising: sensing, by a base station sensor coupled to a base station computing device, a first unique identifier annotated on an external surface of a first modular component and a second unique identifier annotated on an external surface of a second module component interconnected with the first modular component to form a first portion of the real-world object, wherein the base station sensor is external to the real-world object; receiving, by the base station computing device and from a plurality of remote sensors different from the base station sensor, unique identifiers sensed by the plurality of remote sensors for other interconnected modular components of the plurality of interconnected modular components different from the first and second modular components, wherein the other interconnected module components form a second portion of the real-world object different from the first portion and wherein each remote sensor of the plurality of remote sensors is external to the real-world object; determining, by the base station computing device, (i) characteristics of the first and second modular components based on the unique identifiers annotated on the first and second modular components and (ii) characteristics of the other interconnected modular components based on the unique identifies annotated on the other interconnected module components; synthesizing, by the base station computing device, the determined characteristics of the first and second modular components to identify a first structure of the real-world object from a database of structures stored on the base station computing device based on the determined characteristics, the first structure including a plurality of characteristics associated therewith, wherein the plurality of characteristics includes the determined characteristics and at least one additional characteristic that identifies a location of the second module component relative to the first modular component; synthesizing, by the base station computing device, the determined characteristics of the other interconnected modular components to identify a second structure of the real-world object from the database of structures based on the determined characteristics of the other interconnected modular components and the identification of the first structure, wherein the second structure includes the first structure; and transmitting, from the base station computing device and to a remote computing device, the second structure for translation into a virtual-world representation of the real-world object.
