  • Publication number: 20200090543
    Abstract: A process that translates scores, from real-life activities, achieved exogenously from games and simulations the scores enhance. Game and simulation objects can be developed without the burden of including real-life activities, such as academics, sports, recreation, and performance, inside of the games and simulations themselves. The process harnesses behaviors to compel humans to participate in real-life activities by making game and simulation objects reliant upon the scores which the humans achieve. The process allows the humans to stage, display, and use the scores in the form of game and simulation objects for self and others to see. Activity score translation is achieved by manual. and or automated processes, exemplified in embodiments herein, at a translation intersection point where the scores of real-life activities are introduced into games and simulations and are spent on game and simulation objects, and object attributes and enhancements.
