A system for an augmented-virtual reality simulator using a vehicle is provided. The system includes the vehicle including a control feature configured for selective use in an actual operation mode and in a simulation mode. In the actual operation mode, the control feature is utilized to control actual operation of the vehicle. In the simulation mode, the control feature is utilized as an input device to the augmented-virtual reality simulator. The system further includes a computerized simulation controller. The controller includes programming to monitor activation of the augmented-virtual reality simulator, command activation of the simulation mode based upon the activation of the simulator, monitor inputs to the control feature, and operate the simulator based upon the inputs to the control feature. The system further includes a headset configured for being worn by a user providing a graphical rendering to the user based upon the simulator.

Method and system for generating virtual encounters. For example, the method includes determining first real-world driving characteristics based upon first real-world telematics data of a first real-world user, generating a first virtual map based upon first real-world geolocation data, presenting the first virtual map in a virtual game, generating first virtual encounters based upon the first real-world driving characteristics and first real-world environmental data, applying the first virtual encounters to the first virtual map for a first virtual character to experience, determining second real-world driving characteristics based upon second real-world telematics data of a second real-world user, generating a second virtual map based upon second real-world geolocation data, presenting the second virtual map in the virtual game, generating second virtual encounters based upon the second real-world driving characteristics and second real-world environmental data, and applying the second virtual encounters to the second virtual map for a second virtual character to experience.

A frame for a simulator includes a support for pedals, a support for a manual control unit and a support for a seat, and at least two elongate frame parts extending on either side of the supports and connected thereto. The support for the manual control unit and the seat support are displaceable in longitudinal direction of the frame. The support for the manual control unit and the seat support can here be displaceable in opposite directions in order to form a space therebetween. A simulator comprising such a frame, where a seat is mounted on the seat support, a manual control unit is mounted on the support for the manual control unit, and pedals are mounted on the pedal support.

The present invention provides a drone-passing multiple detection sensor gate comprising: a gate having a ring-like structure through which a drone can pass during flight; a first sensor, disposed on the front or the inner front of the gate, for detecting whether the drone approaches the gate or passes through the front side of the gate; a second sensor, disposed on the inner rear of the gate, for detecting whether the drone sensed by the first sensor passes through the rear side of the gate; a detection signal transmitter, disposed inside or on a surface of the gate, for receiving, from the first sensor and the second sensor, the detection signal indicating whether the drone approaches or passes through the gate, and wirelessly transmitting the detection signal. In addition, the present invention provides a drone game system using a multiple detection sensor gate.

A game system that is a non-limiting example information processing system comprises a main body apparatus provided with a left controller and a right controller in an attachable and detachable manner. By operating an additional operation apparatus to which the right controller is attached, a user plays an individual game, and selects an individual game to be played in a menu image that displays a plurality of icons corresponding to a plural kinds of different games. In the menu image, a menu vehicle object related to a game vehicle object that is operated in the individual game is displayed as a designation image. The user selects an icon by moving the menu vehicle object in an operating method that is the same as an operating method for the game vehicle object.

A device (10) for placing thereon a steering wheel console (12) and a pedal console (14) of a race simulator game. The device comprises a base frame (24) configured to be set up on the floor and a pivot frame (26) which is connected with the base frame (24) in a manner pivotable about a horizontal axis. Further, the device is provided with a steering wheel console support (18), pedal console support (20) and a connection provision for connecting a chair (22), which are all directly connected with the pivot frame (26). Further, a race simulator is described, which includes a chair, a steering wheel console and a pedal console and possibly a display which are all mounted on the pivot frame of the device.

A system for controlling interactions between a plurality of real and virtual robots, includes one or more real robots present in the real environment, one or more virtual robots present in a virtual environment corresponding to the real environment, and a processing device operable to control interactions between one or more of the real robots and one or more of the virtual robots, where the interactions between the real and virtual robots are dependent upon at least the positions of the one or more real robots in the real environment and the positions of the one or more virtual robots in the virtual environment.

Systems, methods, and other embodiments associated with output production are described. One example system comprises an analysis component configured to analyze a data set to produce an evaluation result. The system also comprises a production component configured to produce a rendered output based, at least in part, on the evaluation result, where the rendered output is stored in a computer-readable medium.

A toy vehicle track system of the present application includes electrical connections between the track pieces that allow a central hub, referred to herein as a portal piece, to communicate with any track pieces included in the track system. In order to ensure that the portal piece can quickly and accurately identify track configurations that are built, the toy vehicle track system implements a communications protocol that supports communications between any two pieces of track. Based on these communications, the portal piece can determine an orientation, a track type, and a position of any track pieces attached, whether directly or indirectly, to the portal piece. The portal piece can then transmit this information to an electronic device executing an application associated with the track system to allow for digital play on a digital version of the track configuration (among other digital play modes).
