AUGMENTED REALITY RIDING COURSE GENERATION - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18467425 titled 'AUGMENTED REALITY RIDING COURSE GENERATION

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a technology that enhances gameplay by using augmented reality (AR) to display virtual objects on a map of a real-world location. Participants can ride on personal mobility systems like scooters along a track defined by the map. The virtual objects are displayed in the participants' AR devices, corresponding to their positions in the real world on the course. When a participant or their mobility system gets close to a virtual object, the technology detects the proximity and modifies a performance characteristic of the mobility system.

  • AR-enhanced gameplay with virtual objects displayed on a real-world map.
  • Participants ride on personal mobility systems like scooters along a track defined by the map.
  • Virtual objects are displayed in the participants' AR devices, corresponding to their positions in the real world.
  • When a participant or their mobility system gets close to a virtual object, the technology detects the proximity.
  • In response to the detection, a performance characteristic of the mobility system is modified.

Potential Applications

  • Enhancing gameplay experiences by integrating virtual objects into real-world locations.
  • Providing interactive and immersive experiences for participants using personal mobility systems.
  • Creating new forms of entertainment and outdoor activities that combine physical movement with virtual elements.

Problems Solved

  • Lack of interactive and immersive gameplay experiences in real-world locations.
  • Limited options for combining physical movement with virtual elements in outdoor activities.
  • Difficulty in modifying performance characteristics of personal mobility systems based on proximity to virtual objects.

Benefits

  • Enhanced gameplay experiences by merging virtual and real-world elements.
  • Increased engagement and excitement for participants using personal mobility systems.
  • Opportunities for new forms of entertainment and outdoor activities that blend physical and virtual elements.


Original Abstract Submitted

AR-enhanced gameplay includes a map of a course including a plurality of virtual objects, the map corresponding to a location in the real world and defining a track along which participants can ride on personal mobility systems such as scooters. Virtual objects are displayed in the fields of view of participants' augmented reality devices in a positions corresponding to positions in the real world on the course. Proximity of a participant or their personal mobility system with the position of a virtual object in the real world is detected, and in response to the detection of proximity, a performance characteristic of the participant's personal mobility system is modified.
