A server device that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a memory and a processor. The processor can identify first and second players present at first and second physical locations, to identify first and second boundary and topographical information of the first and second physical locations, to map the first and second boundary and topographical information of the first and second physical locations to a virtual gaming space, to capture first and second position and orientation information for the first and second players, to map the first and second position and orientation information to the virtual gaming space, to generate first and second virtual players corresponding to the first and second players, and to transmit to first goggles information representative of the second virtual player for display superimposed onto a transparent viewing apparatus for viewing of the virtual gaming space. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

Embodiments of the invention relate to systems and methods for multi-player gaming. Some embodiments relate to systems having an improved communications infrastructure and improved handheld game controllers, while other embodiments relate to improvements in handling large numbers of players in the multi-player game when played in a game arena with a single large display screen showing the multi-player game images. In one particular embodiment, a system is provided that has a game server controlling a display system to display the multi-player game on the large screen and a plurality of game controllers. Each game controller has a secondary display means for providing a secondary game display and input means for receiving player input. The system further comprises communication means for enabling communication between the game server and each of the plurality of game controllers. The plurality of game controllers are located in proximity to the large display screen such that it is visible to game players manipulating the game controllers while playing the multi-player game.

A method for assembling an overhead display assembly includes providing a plurality of display segments, each display segment of the plurality of display segments configured to mate with at least one other display segment. The method also includes coupling each display segment to a support stanchion of a plurality of support stanchions and coupling a first display segment to a second display segment to form the display assembly. The display assembly is then raised on the plurality of support stanchions, after coupling the first display segment to the second display segment. The display assembly is also coupled in communication with an electronic gaming machine.

A server device that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a memory and a processor. The processor can identify first and second players present at first and second physical locations, to identify first and second boundary and topographical information of the first and second physical locations, to map the first and second boundary and topographical information of the first and second physical locations to a virtual gaming space, to capture first and second position and orientation information for the first and second players, to map the first and second position and orientation information to the virtual gaming space, to generate first and second virtual players corresponding to the first and second players, and to transmit to first goggles information representative of the second virtual player for display superimposed onto a transparent viewing apparatus for viewing of the virtual gaming space. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

There is provided an information processing apparatus, an information processing method, and a program that enable a predetermined haptic stimulus to be presented to a number of corresponding input devices on the basis of inputs from the input devices and thereby realize an intuitive haptic interface that gives a deeper sense of realism. The information processing apparatus includes: an acquisition unit configured to acquire a plurality of pieces of pointer information on the basis of one or a plurality of pieces of sensor data; a discrimination unit configured to discriminate an input device corresponding to each pointer on the basis of characteristics of the plurality of pieces of pointer information; and a generation unit configured to generate a predetermined haptic stimulation signal to be output to an input device corresponding to a pointer in a case in which a position of the pointer satisfies a predetermined condition.

Presented herein is an interactive platform for judging an activity by a participant in an event. The platform includes a client application program downloadable to a mobile device. The program may include a database storing a mobile device identifier (ID), a user ID, user information, and location data of the device. The application may further be configured to display one or more events of the activity as well as an input for receiving a score of the activity from the user. The platform may additionally include a server system connected with the client application programs via a communication network. The server system may be configured for receiving the mobile device ID, the user ID, the user information, and the location data for the client program, and may further be configured to receive the scores from the users, and to adjust the scores according to determined bias of the associated user.

Three dimensional spaces whereby any physical media are gamified, or made into a GAMESPACE or VR combined space in which multiple unique users/participants contemporaneously by interaction for points compete with real-time shifting and the same course measured for all by a Master Control System.

This document presents devices, systems, and their methods of use for content generation, engagement, and distribution by which a user can interact with collected content in a variety of different manners. Generally, a content engagement platform is provided, where the platform may be implemented on one or more computing devices, such as one or more of: a remote server, a desktop computer, a tablet computer, a handheld mobile computing device, for instance, a mobile phone or personal digital assistant, a smart accessory, such as a watch or eyeglasses, and the like. The platform allows a user to annotate and distribute video content.

The interactive theater system is executed on an interactive gaming computer (IG PC) configured to execute an interactive multi-player video game. The IG PC outputs a video stream to a display system, such as a projector and screen, which allows the players to view the multi-player video game. Each player sits in a multi-sensory seat for providing multi-sensory feedback to each player during execution of the interactive multi-player video game. The player provides input using an input device having an infrared camera and motion sensors. The infrared camera is used to image an infrared light arrangement positioned above-the multi-sensory seats. Infrared camera data and motion sensor data is used by the IG PC to accurately determine the real time position of each input device. Players in a first interactive theater system can compete with players in a second interactive theater system in real time.

This application relates to a method for displaying a marker element in a virtual scene performed at a terminal. The method includes: rendering a display interface of a virtual scene; obtaining marker indication information used for indicating a target virtual item marked by a user of the terminal corresponding to a user account in the virtual scene for user accounts in a same team to view, the user account controlling a current virtual object in the virtual scene; obtaining graphic data of a marker element according to the marker indication information, the marker element being a graphic element used for indicating a location of the target virtual item in the virtual scene to the user accounts in the same team; and rendering the marker element according to the graphic data at a designated location around the target virtual item in the display interface of the virtual scene.
