A video game may include a virtual representation of a game player created object. The game player created object may be imaged by an imaging device of a smartphone, with the smartphone determining a virtual representation for use in the video game based on information of the image. In some embodiments the game player may control the virtual representation during game play.

In some embodiments the game player created object may be an origami object.

A program executed by a processor causes the processor to identify, based on a result of an image captured by a first camera configured to capture an image of a user in a real space, a position of the user; display, based on the result of the image captured by the first camera, on a display, a first image representative of the user; and display, at a position that is based on an identification result obtained by identifying the position of the user, a second image that corresponds to an object in the real space.

Modified video is distributed to a viewer of a computer-implemented game by causing a processor to distribute, toward a terminal device of a viewer, a first video including an animation of a first avatar of a distributor generated based on motion data; distribute, toward the terminal device, a second video related to a computer-implemented game generated with operation data using a received web page; receive, from the terminal device, token data indicative of a token sent to the distributor from the viewer during execution of one unit section of the game; and distribute, toward the terminal device, the second video including, during one time section occurring after the one unit section of the game ends and before a next unit section of the game begins, a rendering of a token object selected based on the token data.

An environment includes one or more clients, a game mediator server, and a game server connected by a network. The clients include a game mediator and a game. The game server executes game playing sessions of the games. The game mediator server and the game mediators form a game mediation infrastructure to mediate game playing sessions. For example, the game mediation infrastructure creates “lobbies” for game playing sessions and enables clients connected to lobbies to communicate with one another. The games receive interactions at the client and communicate with the game server to impact execution of game playing sessions. The game mediator server sends deep links to clients, e.g., to initiate game installation, or to start the game at a particular portion of the game. The game mediation infrastructure may also enrich gameplay by customizing gameplay and/or the lobby, e.g. based on events that occur during execution of the game playing session, or locations of the clients.

The disclosed systems and methods integrate gaming functionality with viewing a video program. Systems and methods for generating an interactive multimedia game for a user during the viewing of a video program by the user includes a host computer that generates the game in a context of the video program viewed on a first graphical user interface and recommends the video game to the user. The user may opt to engage with the video game on a second graphical user interface, which may be overlaid on the first graphical user interface.

A client device associated with a player of a location-based game detects client devices associated with other players which are within proximity of the player device. This detection of other player client devices may result in various game actions occurring, such as an exchange of game elements between players, game progress for a player, access to a game feature, or establishing a connection between players. Detection of player devices may be performed using personal area network devices of the client devices, such as Bluetooth. Proximity detection can occur when player client devices are disconnected from an online system hosting the location-based game with the detection later being reported to the online system by one or both devices.
