  • EFFECTUATING MODIFICATIONS WITHIN AN INSTANCE OF A VIRTUAL SPACE PRESENTED VIA MULTIPLE DISPARATE CLIENT COMPUTING PLATFORMS RESPONSIVE TO DETECTION OF A TOKEN ASSOCIATED WITH A SINGLE CLIENT COMPUTING PLATFORM
    Publication number: 20150294508
    Abstract: Exemplary implementations may facilitate effectuating modifications within an instance of a virtual space presented via multiple disparate client computing platforms responsive to detection of a token associated with a single client computing platform. In some implementations, tokens may be detected based on signals received from token readers associated with individual ones of the multiple client computing platforms. A given token may be a standalone physical object. The given token may be detectable based on a signal conveying information associated with the given token. The information associated with the given token conveyed by the signal may be devoid of virtual space content.
    Type: Application
