  • Patent number: 10843077
    Abstract: A system and method for creating, presenting and permitting concurrent interaction by players within multiple reality and virtual reality environments wherein a virtual representation of a non-virtual location is generated by a processor in which a set of all of the elements and a set of all of the players are located and represented. The system creates a first dimensionally precise replica of a physical environment and generates a virtual reality environment which is substantially identical to the physical environment. The physical environment situated therein an ultra-precise indoor positioning system consisting of a series of networked antennas connected to a processor to record, generate and transmit positional and action data. The system and method then permit interaction between both the players within the physical environment and those within the virtual reality environment as if both were located within the same environment.

  • Publication number: 20090132915
    Abstract: Application logic and user interfaces are separated to allow more than one interface or view to be easily employed for given application logic. A particular interface can be utilized to display data and/or facilitate interaction simply by identifying the interface. Available interfaces are identified to users for selection thereof. The specific interfaces and manner of identification can be filtered or otherwise controlled or arranged. Upon selection of an interface, data can be rendered accordingly. A transition can also be applied between switched interfaces.
