    摘要: A physical-virtual gaming system comprising a game board including a multiplicity of physical locations, a game overlay including a multiplicity of logical locations, and game pieces for moving throughout the logical locations. The system tracks the physical locations of the game pieces and translates these physical locations into the logical locations using pre-known physical-to-logical location mapping information. Game boards, game overlays and game pieces can be individualized with their own unique identifiers. As game pieces are moved, a game database comprising at least current game piece locations and the game state are maintained. Based at least in part upon the current game piece locations and game state the system provides actions including outputting any of virtual content and information on any of a shared or private computing device running a game app. Actions also include causing changes to game devices including wearables.

    摘要: A mirror-display is taught for use in a destination such as a theme park or hotel that allows a guest to move an article such as a wand in front of the mirror-display, where the movements are tracked and interpreted as commands. Visual movement feedback of the article is provided to help train the guests. The mirror-display can act as a full mirror, but then switch into a half-mirror mode where the guest sees their partial reflection along with output from the display, or a transparent mode where the guest does not see their reflection. Output includes secret messages only viewable to guests wearing glasses that are controllably detected and synchronized with the display output. The mirror-display comprises means for automatically determining guest identity and for exchanging commands and information with either or both of a local or global eco-system.

    摘要: A system for providing gamification of a destination such as a theme park where guests use a venue app with an optional electronic ticket that allows for both self-serve access into the destination and tracking of individual guests throughout various access points. An extended range ID such as an RFID is provided to the guest either in the electronic ticket or in a wearable. Using combinations of RFID readers, pressure sensors and cameras the system tracks guests down the ride seat and tracks the movements of guided, free-floating and free-ranging vehicles. Using the combination of guest and vehicle tracking information along with information provided by a destination gaming system, the destination guest experience is customized including various effects for rides and attractions. Spot cameras are placed at tracked locations such as rides seats, where images are captured in response to either external triggers generated by the system or guest indications.
