Abstract
Systems and methods directed to generating an interactive graphical marker that includes a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region. The systems and methods are also directed to monitoring an animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation, and in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, initiating an interactive game application on a second computing device and a third computing device.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- capturing an animation of an interactive graphical marker, the interactive graphical marker comprising a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region, and the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprising the first region rotating in a first direction around a rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker;
- monitoring the animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation;
- and
- in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing an initiation of an interactive game application.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to perform operations comprising:
- capturing an animation of an interactive graphical marker, the interactive graphical marker comprising a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region, and the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprising the first region rotating in a first direction around a rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker;
- monitoring the animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation;
- and
- in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing an initiation of an interactive game application.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:
- capturing an animation of an interactive graphical marker, the interactive graphical marker comprising a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region, and the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprising the first region rotating in a first direction around a rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker;
- monitoring the animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation;
- and
- in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing an initiation of an interactive game application.
