Asynchronous representation of alternate reality characters

A method for representing alternate reality characters in a real-world environment, the method comprising:

• generating, on an alternate reality server, an image map of a real-world environment of a home location of an alternate reality character;
• receiving, on the alternate reality server, sensor data from a plurality of sensors of a sensor network of the home location;
• determining, on the alternate reality server and based on a behavior policy in a database that correlates a behavior of the alternate reality character to a corresponding stimuli, a set of predefined available responses of the alternate reality character to stimuli represented by the sensor data and experienced by the alternate reality character, wherein the alternate reality character is representative of a creature not detected by the alternate reality server in the real-world environment;
• selecting, on the alternate reality server, one of the predefined available responses as a function of historic data indicative of previous responses of the alternate reality character to determine an activity of the alternate reality character for a first time period;
• and
• generating, on the alternate reality server, a video by superimposing the alternate reality character performing the determined activity on the image map of the real-world environment of the home location during the first time period.

One or more non-transitory machine readable storage media comprising a plurality of instructions stored thereon that, in response to being executed, cause an alternate reality server to:

• generate an image map of a real-world environment of a home location of an alternate reality character;
• receive sensor data from a plurality of sensors of a sensor network of the home location;
• determine, based on a behavior policy in a database that correlates a behavior of the alternate reality character to a corresponding stimuli, a set of predefined available responses of the alternate reality character to stimuli represented by the sensor data and experienced by the alternate reality character, wherein the alternate reality character is representative of a creature not detected by the alternate reality server in the real-world environment;
• select one of the predefined available responses as a function of historic data indicative of previous responses of the alternate reality character to determine an activity of the alternate reality character for a first time period;
• and
• superimpose, in a video, the alternate reality character performing the determined activity on the image map of the real-world environment of the home location during the first time period.
