A message generation unit generates a notification message. A setting unit registers setting information determining whether or not a camera image is to be included in a distribution image. A distribution processing unit distributes a distribution image. When the camera image is set to be included in the distribution image, an image processing unit generates the distribution image including a region in which the notification message is superimposed. When the camera image is set not to be included in the distribution image, the image processing unit generates the distribution image not including the region in which the notification message is superimposed.

A method of predicting the likelihood of a post tee off golf swing or consecutive swings resulting in a ball being sunk in a hole; the method utilizing communication equipped cameras or communication equipped laser rangefinders at known locations to determine accurate ball lie information. Transmission of this location information in real time to a processing facility linked to a database of historical play information incorporating at least ball position information and golf course in order to calculate odds of success of the upcoming swing and/or subsequent swings.

Techniques for enabling selection of one or more viewports from a scene representation are disclosed herein. In some aspects, scene configuration information including a position of at least one viewport relative to the scene may be received. Each of the at least one viewport may be associated with a streaming camera view. A scene representation may then be defined based, at least in part, on the scene configuration information. One or more viewport representations corresponding to each of the at least one viewport may be positioned within the scene representation, based, at least in part on, the scene configuration information. The scene representation, including the at least one viewport representation, may be displayed, for example, to a user. Each viewport representation may allow the respective streaming camera view associated with the corresponding viewport may to be displayed, such as by selection of each viewport representation.

A golf system includes a plurality of striking areas, each striking areas being associated with a respective set of targets. The golf system includes at least one sensing device for sensing one or more parameters regarding the travel of a physical golf ball. A processor is configured to: access a database including golf hole data, the golf hole data defining relative positions of a tee-off location and a pin location for a virtual golf hole; based on the one or more parameters regarding the travel of the physical golf ball, update a virtual location of a virtual golf ball; generate signals to provide an indication of which of the plurality of striking areas or corresponding set of targets a next shot is to be struck from or to; and generate signals to provide an indication of which target in a set of targets represents a direction of the pin location.

A first device sends a request to a second device to initiate a shared annotation session. In response to receiving acceptance of the request, a first prompt to move the first device toward the second device is displayed. In accordance with a determination that connection criteria for the first device and the second device are met, a representation of a field of view of the camera(s) of the first device is displayed in the shared annotation session with the second device. During the shared annotation session, one or more annotations are displayed via the first display generation component and one or more second virtual annotations corresponding to annotation input directed to the respective location in the physical environment by the second device is displayed via the first display generation component, provided that the respective location is included in the field of view of the first set of cameras.

Provided is an information processing system in which a moving object (ball) is moved at a first speed in first to third virtual spaces of first to third apparatuses. In the second virtual space of the second apparatus, the moving speed of the moving object is changed from the first speed to a second speed lower than the first speed.

A system for wagering including a server computing device including a processor; and a memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to cause a virtual representation of a region of a golf course to be displayed on a user device; determine one or more virtual shapes; determine a value associated respectively with each of the one or more virtual shapes; cause the user device to display the one or more virtual shapes over the virtual representation; cause the user device to display the one or more values associated respectively with the one or virtual shapes; and receive a bet selection from the user device.
