A program recorded on a computer-readable recording medium causes a processor of a game apparatus to function as a game controller configured to execute a video game and generate video information indicative of a video of the video game; and a generator configured to generate analysis information obtained by analyzing a plurality of pieces of game message information output from a plurality of terminal apparatuses configured to display a distributed video based on the video information. The game controller is configured to impart to the video of the video game at least one of a visual effect that is in accordance with the analysis information or an auditory effect that is in accordance with the analysis information, and each piece of game message information output from the plurality of terminal apparatuses includes a message related to at least one of the distributed video or the video game.

The present invention provides methods and systems for facilitating playing soccer based on RFID. The methods and systems may include receiving a request from a user, generating a radio tracking indication, transmitting the radio tracking indication to a Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) reader, emitting interrogating radio waves, receiving returned radio wave, generating ball tracking data, receiving target data from at least one target sensor, retrieving game data, processing the ball tracking data and the target data based on the game data, generating user performance, transmitting the user performance to the user, storing at least one of the request, the sensor data, the target sensor data, and the user performance.

A shot identifying module 220 identifies a flight distance of the golf ball and an angle of a direction from the measurement terminal 10 toward the golf ball with respect to a direction toward which the user terminal 10 is directed at a time of the measurement. A terminal position and orientation identifying module 222 identifies a terminal position and a terminal orientation. A ball position identifying module 224 identifies a ball position based on the terminal position, the terminal orientation, the flight distance of the golf ball, and the angle.

Method, systems and apparatuses may provide for technology that extracts one or more motion features from filtered position data associated with a projectile in a game and identifies a turning point in a trajectory of the projectile based on the one or more motion features. The technology may also automatically designate the turning point as a highlight moment if one or more of the turning point or the trajectory satisfies a proximity condition with respect to a target area in the game.

Methods and systems are provided for augmenting a video game with an image of a real world person. One example method includes executing the video game at a server. The video game is played by a user via a user device. The method includes identifying a generic spectator within the video game. The method includes determining virtual coordinates associated with the generic spectator. The method includes receiving, at the server, data associated with the image of the real world person. The data is usable to display at least part of the image of the real world person within the video game. The method includes inserting said at least part of the image of the real world person into the video game at the virtual coordinates associated with the generic spectator. The method includes streaming video to the user device. The video includes said at least part of the image of the real world person. The identifying of the generic spectator includes selecting the generic spectator from a plurality of generic spectators based on a level of visibility of the generic spectator has with respect to a point of view of the user when playing the video game.

A game system is provided that can gamify selection at a selection opportunity. A game system provides, to a viewer who via a user terminal device is viewing a game screen of a baseball game provided by a game machine, a selection screen for selecting one or more of plural individual option regions that are included in the game screen of the baseball game. Furthermore, when a home run occurs in the baseball game according to a predetermined rule so as to enter (reach) any one of the plural individual option regions, the game system determines a winning region which a ball image of the home run enters and, if the winning region matches the individual option region selected in the selection screen, imparts a benefit to the viewer who made the selection.

Systems and methods are disclosed for determining that a first end-user entity has performed a task within a computer simulation for which a non-fungible token (NFT) is to be provided, where the NFT is associated with a digital asset. Responsive to the determination, the NFT is provided to the first end-user entity so that the digital asset may be used, via the NFT, across plural different computer simulations and/or across plural different computer simulation platforms. Ownership of the NFT may also be subsequently transferred to other end-user entities for their own use across different simulations and/or platforms.
