A system includes a beverage sensor to distinguish one or more beverage states and to communicate the distinguished one or more beverage states to a processor as gameplay control inputs to the game.

“Feature points” in “point clouds” that are visible to multiple respective cameras (i.e., aspects of objects imaged by the cameras) are reported via wired and/or wireless communication paths to a compositing processor which can determine whether a particular feature point “moved” a certain amount relative to another image. In this way, the compositing processor can determine, e.g., using triangulation and recognition of common features, how much movement occurred and where any particular camera was positioned when a latter image from that camera is captured. Thus, “overlap” of feature points in multiple images is used so that the system can close the loop to generate a SLAM map. The compositing processor, which may be implemented by a server or other device, generates the SLAM map by merging feature point data from multiple imaging devices.

Embodiments include a system that incorporates the subject disclosure may include, for example, detecting a current trigger during a video game and determining a group of players involved in the current trigger. Further embodiments include recording a trigger clip of game content for each player in the group of players resulting in a group of trigger clips. Each trigger clip of the group of trigger clips is a portion of game content that includes the current trigger from a perspective of each player of the group of players. Additional embodiments include providing the group of trigger clips to a group of gaming devices over a communication network. Each gaming device of the group of gaming devices is associated with one player of the group of players. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

According to one embodiment, a terminal display control method for using as a controller of a game a terminal device including a touch panel, which is configured to be integral with a display, includes selecting a controller image which is used in the game; setting at least one of a presence/absence of a function, a number, a size, a shape and a position of disposition, with respect to an operation element in the controller image; and making variable, in accordance with a content of the setting, a state of the controller image displayed on the display, and an operation standard of the operation element corresponding to an input on the touch panel.

Operation data is acquired from either a first type of controller having a plurality of operation sections or a second type of controller having fewer operation sections, and a game process is performed. When the first type of controller is used for game operation, a selection item is switched in a forward direction for a plurality of items arranged in a predetermined order, in accordance with an operation on a first operation section, and the selection item is switched in a reverse direction in accordance with an operation on a second operation section. In addition, when the second type of controller is used for game operation, the selection item is switched in the forward direction in accordance with an operation on a third operation section of the second type of controller. Then, a UI image including these items is generated.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium stores a program causing a computer to execute: registering a game object selected by each player, each player selecting the game object from a plurality of types of game objects, the game object being registered as a participating object serving as an operable target in a first game; setting a special object for the first game; changing the operable target to the special object, irrespective of the type of the participating object, for a player satisfying a prescribed condition in the first game; executing the first game by using common status information that is common at least to the participating objects of the same type when a player uses the participating object as the operable object; and executing the first game by using special status information set for the special object when a player uses the special object as the operable object.

An amusement park system includes a modular attraction system having a ride vehicle having seats to accommodate passengers, an on-board system integrated with the ride vehicle and having on-board game systems connected via a network. Each on-board game system is configured to provide an augmented reality (AR) experience, or a virtual reality (VR) experience, or both, via a respective visual experience generator device. The AR experience, or the VR experience, or both, is provided within a game shared between the on-board game systems. The on-board game systems are integrated into the ride vehicle, and are connected via the network to one another in a manner that allows for ready removal of all or a portion of one of the on-board game systems without affecting operation of the remaining on-board game systems.
