  • Publication number: 20240029385
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for mobile device tracking system within a VR simulation. The method includes determining a position and orientation of a mobile device tracking module (e.g., case) attached to a mobile device, calculating a position and orientation of the of the mobile device based at least partially on a position and orientation of a tracking module, simulating a real world environment, generating a virtual visualization of the mobile device and rendering a VR simulation based at least partially on the position and orientation of the display screen of the mobile device. The position and orientation of the display screen provides a virtual position and orientation of the display screen relative to a virtual origin within the VR simulation.

  • Publication number: 20230330529
    Abstract: Exemplary venues allow for members of an audience at different locations within these venues to simultaneously interact with an interactive content. The interactive content can convey one or more requisite actions to be performed by the members of the audience. However, the one or more requisite actions can reach members of the audience at different instances in time. These exemplary venues can effectively compensate for these different instances in time such that the accuracy and/or the synchronization of one or more response actions, which are performed by the members of the audience in response to the one or more requisite actions, can be characterized as no longer being dependent upon their distance from the interactive content. Rather, the accuracy and/or the synchronization of the one or more response actions by the members of the audience to the one or more requisite actions can be considered as being related to the performance, for example, timing, of the one or more response actions themselves.

  • Publication number: 20230062315
    Abstract: A system and methods for providing interactive content to an audience is disclosed. In aspects, system implements methods to receive sensor data captured by one or more sensors affixed to a performer. A graphical visualization is rendered based on the sensor data. The graphical visualization is transmitted to one or more external devices associated with one or more members of the audience for incorporation into a application executing on the one or more external devices.

  • Publication number: 20220358027
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are system, method, and computer program product embodiments for generating a Virtual Reality (VR) simulation. By combining physical and simulated data from a physical, virtual mobile device and virtual environment and rendering that within a VR simulation, the system can give the developer a more hands-on accurate representation and feel for how their mobile app can work at a real-world environment. This VR simulation assists a developer to cut down on iteration and travel time when developing, debugging, and testing their mobile apps/games for real-world environments, location-based entertainment (LBE) venues including indoor or outdoor installations.
