Abstract: A device running a game based on spectrometer data comprises a spectrometer configured to detect the spectrometer data of a real-life object, the spectrometer data indicating one or more features of the real-life object, and one or more processors configured to receive the spectrometer data of a real-life object from a spectrometer, determine a game object based on the spectrometer data, wherein the game object has one or more attributes corresponding to the one or more of features of the real-life object, and perform one or more actions on the game object based on the one or more attributes of the game object. Spectrometer data of real-life objects can be generated to create game objects and modify game attributes of the game objects, which can bring more fun into gaming, and stimulate the game player's interest and curiosity in exploring the characteristic associated with various objects in real world.
