Abstract
An example method includes obtaining, obtaining, from one or more sensors of a computing device, data relating to a feature in an environment. Following, the method includes analyzing the data to identify one or more details of the feature in the environment and determining, based on a comparison of the data to a stored dataset in a database, that the details includes a detail that the stored dataset lacks. The method includes providing one or more game elements for gameplay on an interface of the computing device based on the details including the detail that the stored dataset lacks.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- analyzing an image of an environment to detect an object in the environment;
- responsive to detecting the object, obtaining, from one or more sensors of a computing device, data of one of a plurality of available data types describing a detail of the object in the environment;
- determining, based on a comparison of the data to a stored dataset in a database, that the stored dataset lacks the detail of the object, the stored dataset including data describing other details of the object of at least some of the plurality of available data types;
- and
- responsive to determining the data includes the detail that the stored dataset lacks, providing one or more game elements for use in gameplay on an interface of the computing device.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with encoded instructions that, when executed by a computer system, cause the computer system to perform steps comprising:
- analyzing an image of an environment to detect an object in the environment;
- responsive to detecting the object, obtaining, from one or more sensors of a computing device, data of one of a plurality of available data types describing a detail of the object in the environment;
- determining, based on a comparison of the data to a stored dataset in a database, that the stored dataset lacks the detail of the object, the stored dataset including data describing other details of the object of at least some of the plurality of available data types;
- and
- responsive to determining the data includes the detail that the stored dataset lacks, providing one or more game elements for use in gameplay on an interface of the computing device.
