A simulation system comprising: a plurality of physical components, each corresponding to one of a plurality of physical component types, an attachment panel comprising an arrangement of attachment locations, such that one or more of the physical components are attachable to the attachment panel; a display system configured to provide a visualisation on or proximate one or both of the attachment panel and the plurality of physical components; a capture device configured to capture image data of a current status of the attachment panel and the plurality of physical components; and a controller, when at least one physical component is coupled to the attachment panel.

Methods and systems for normalizing views of real world space and virtual environment of an interactive application as viewed through a pair of augmented reality glasses include receiving content of the interactive application for rendering on a display screen of the pair of augmented reality glasses. The content is streaming content provided in response to inputs provided by the user and includes virtual objects. The virtual objects are dynamically scaled to match a scale of the real world objects to a scale of the virtual objects. The content of the interactive application dynamically scaled is projected as an overlay over the real world objects of the real world space viewed through the pair of augmented reality glasses. The content that is dynamically scaled enables a normalized view between the real world space and the virtual environment.

The present invention relates to systems and methods for controlling a weapons-related video game on a touchscreen-based device. Aspects of the invention simplify the act of aiming at a target on a touchscreen-based device by: presenting a virtual environment from a first viewpoint and a user interface to a player, the user interface comprising at least one graphical user input element, the virtual environment including a plurality of targets, at least some of which has assigned priorities; assigning a priority to at least one of the targets; determining a highest-priority target out of the at least one of the targets that have been assigned a priority; receiving an indication that the at least one graphical user input element has been selected by a user; and, in response, determining a second viewpoint for viewing the virtual environment that is different from the first viewpoint for viewing the virtual environment, relative to the highest-priority target.

A method for live determining of a sports device by a system with a position monitoring system, a user device, and a central server device. The method has the following steps: determining a live position of a sports device in the region of a sports arena during a competition by the position monitoring system; during the competition, the sports device moves in the area of the sports arena according to the competition; detecting a user input via the user device; and, in the central server device; providing live position data for the sports device, providing position data for the sports device; providing test data indicating a test criterion assigned to the user-defined position selection; and determining whether the test criterion is satisfied, wherein the live position data and position data for the sports device are compared. Furthermore, the invention relates to a system for live determining of a sports device.

An information processing system transmits as output data, at least any of a processing target event log and display data generated based on the processing target event log to an information processing apparatus, the processing target event log including a first event log and a second area event log, the first event log being an event log based on an in-game event that has occurred based on an in-game activity by a first player in a shared area, the second area event log being an event log based on an in-game event that causes change of a state of arrangement in the shared area among second event logs, the information processing apparatus being brought in correspondence with the first player. The information processing apparatus outputs an output image based on the received output data to a display.
