  • Publication number: 20240106883
    Abstract: A method for sharing digital content includes determining whether a first computing device is physically located within a defined geographical area, if the first computing device is physically located within the defined geographical area, providing access of shareable digital content to the first computing device, instantiating a tethering object associated with the shareable digital content, the tethering object including at least a first endpoint at the first computing device and a second endpoint at a second computing device remote from the first computing device, and providing access of at least a portion of the shareable digital content, via the tethering object, to the second endpoint at the second computing device remote from the first computing device. Other example methods and computer systems for implementing content sharing methods are also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20210052976
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to apparatus, systems, and methods to allow a user to create virtual and real-world game content to provide players with physically engaging virtual content that is anchored to real-world locations. A content creator is provided a set of “drag-n-drop” modular assets (e.g., encounter tiles, content tiles, creatures, chests, rooms, vehicles, etc.) that can be aggregated together to form a complete content set (e.g., a dungeon, level, puzzle, etc.) through which a player is able to engage the game via the real-world. Each individual modular asset may include a set of in-game challenge criteria that must be satisfied to complete an in-game challenge associated with the asset.
