  • Patent number: 9764226
    Abstract: Methods, systems, computer-readable media, and apparatuses for dynamically determining and applying a zoom amount when entering a sniper mode are presented. In one or more embodiments, a computing device may provide a user interface that includes a controlled vehicle and a target vehicle. Subsequently, the computing device may receive a request to enter a sniper mode. In response to receiving the request to enter the sniper mode, the computing device may determine a zoom amount based on a size of the target vehicle and a distance from the controlled vehicle to the target vehicle. The computing device then may update the user interface based on the zoom amount to enter the sniper mode.

  • Patent number: 9033797
    Abstract: Methods and systems for providing multiple viewing modes of a simulated environment are described herein. The different viewing modes may include a magnified view of the environment, an unmagnified view, and/or a magnified view combined with an unmagnified view. The different viewing modes may include a model of a user controlled object which mimics the movement of the user controlled object to provide the user with information regarding the positioning or orientation of the user controlled object with respect to the user's current view. In the different viewing modes, a potential damage indicator may be provided on a targeted object to indicate potential damage to the targeted object based on a current weapon selection.

  • Patent number: 4826240
    Abstract: A seat assembly for use with a conventional walker is designed to be adjustably attached to walkers of different shapes and sizes. Once the seat assembly is attached to a walker, the seat may be moved up into an inoperative position and held there by magnets. When a user of the walker wished to sit down, the foldable seat may be pulled downwardly into an operative position to facilitate the user's desires.
