Described embodiments generally relate to a computing system including a virtual environment hosting a player avatar comprising: a display; a memory storing a set of activity instructions; at least one input mechanism configured to receive user input from a player. The controller is configured to access and execute the instructions stored in the memory to: generate a virtual environment; present a player avatar on the within the virtual environment; present at least one skill activity on the display; enable a player to control the player avatar to perform the game of skill activity in association with the virtual environment by operating the at least one input mechanism; in response to a triggering event, determine a skill score based on at least one aspect of the avatar's performance in the skill activity and the set of activity instructions; and based on the skill score, determine whether to electronically allocate a virtual good for use in association with the player avatar.

An image such as a depth image of a scene may be received, observed, or captured by a device. A grid of voxels may then be generated based on the depth image such that the depth image may be downsampled. A background included in the grid of voxels may also be removed to isolate one or more voxels associated with a foreground object such as a human target. A location or position of one or more extremities of the isolated human target may be determined and a model may be adjusted based on the location or position of the one or more extremities.

The present disclosure provides an information processing method, including: providing an attack control on a graphical user interface, and in response to a first touch operation acting on the attack control, controlling a first virtual character to execute an attack instruction in a game scene; providing a sub-control of a build control on the graphical user interface, providing the build control on the graphical user interface in response to a second touch operation acting on the sub-control of the build control, and controlling the first virtual character to execute a build instruction in a first building area of the game scene.
