    Abstract: Systems and methods of simulated objects and applications thereof are disclosed here. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of simulating a virtual sports game played by a real participant in a real world environment. One embodiment includes generating a simulated playing field that represents a physical location in the real world environment and is provided for access via a device. The simulated playing field can include characteristics that correspond to physical characteristics of the physical location where the real participant is located. One embodiment further includes, identifying a user requested action to be performed on a simulated object in the simulated playing field by detecting user interaction with the device.

  • Publication number: 20100302143
    Abstract: Systems and methods for control of a simulated object that is associated with a physical location in the real world environment are herein disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of determining whether a location data and a timing data satisfy a criterion. Responsive to determining that the location data and the timing data satisfy the criterion, the method enables access of the simulated object in a simulated environment by a user via a device. The simulated object generally includes attributes that are perceived by the user via the device. In one embodiment, the location data includes a location of the device and the timing data includes a time when the device is located at the location.

    Abstract: Systems and methods for facilitating user interaction with a simulated object that is associated with a physical location in the real world environment is herein disclosed. In one aspect, embodiments of the present disclosure include a method, which may be implemented on a system, of identifying the simulated object that is available for access based on location data. The location data can include a location of a device in a time period, the device for use by a user to access the simulated object. One embodiment includes, verifying an identity of the user; and in response to determining that the user is authorized to access the simulated object, providing the simulated object for presentation to the user via the device.
