The present invention provides a screen shooting range and a method of playing a screen shooting game using artificial intelligence technologies. The screen shooting range includes a set studio including a plurality of shooting spaces virtually divided so as to continue a movement line of a user, wherein each of the divided shooting spaces is decorated according to different themes; a plurality of structures disposed in the shooting spaces; a sensor unit configured to detect a motion or position of the user; a plurality of image display units disposed in the shooting space to display images; a moving means provided so that the structure or the image display unit can be moved; a main server for storing a plurality of images as a manual and receiving position information of the laser point; and a controller for controlling internal configurations of the shooting space as a whole.

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.

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.

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.

One or more persistent customized social media environments are created allowing users to share content or an activity. The content or activity may comprise a shared media experience or shared participatory experience. Each user accessing the environment utilizes a device alone or in conjunction with other devices to complete a sharing experience. A persistent customized social media environment definition establishes a user environment which provides social networking services as well as content sharing and allows users who are connected to the persistent customized social media environment definition to experience instant messages, while those users who connect to the persistent customized social media environment at a later time will receive messages once they enter the environment.
