  • Publication number: 20190151758
    Abstract: A set of data associated with one or more real world conditions is received over at least one wireless network and from one or more sources. It is determined, based at least on a quantity of string instances of the set of data that match each other, that a first subset of the set of data surpasses an interest level threshold. A second subset of the set of data does not surpass the interest level threshold. At least one unique virtual entity is generated for use in a virtual environment of a virtual game based on the first subset of data surpassing the interest level threshold.
