Interactive augmented reality experiences using positional tracking

An interactive augmented reality method for use with an eyewear device having a position detection system and a display system, the method comprising:

• registering, with the position detection system, a marker position for a user-controlled virtual game piece, the marker position defined with respect to the eyewear device and responsive to movement of the eyewear device;
• presenting the user-controlled virtual game piece on the display system at the marker position;
• registering, with the position detection system, another marker position for an interaction virtual game piece, the other marker position defined with respect to the eyewear device;
• presenting the interaction virtual game piece on the display system at the other marker position;
• updating the marker position responsive to movement of the eyewear device;
• monitoring interaction between the user-controlled virtual game piece and the interaction virtual game piece as the marker position updates;
• determining steps taken by a user of the eyewear device;
• and
• generating a score responsive to the steps taken by the user while the user-controlled virtual game piece is within a predefined distance of the interaction virtual game piece.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing program code which, when executed, is operative to cause an electronic processor to perform the steps of:

• registering, with a position detection system, a marker position for a user-controlled virtual game piece, the marker position defined with respect to an eyewear device and responsive to movement of the eyewear device;
• presenting the user-controlled virtual game piece on a display system at the marker position;
• registering, with the position detection system, another marker position for an interaction virtual game piece, the other marker position defined with respect to the eyewear device;
• presenting the interaction virtual game piece on the display system at the other marker position;
• updating the marker position responsive to movement of the eyewear device;
• monitoring interaction between the user-controlled virtual game piece and the interaction virtual game piece as the marker position updates;
• determining steps taken by a user of the eyewear device;
• and
• generating a score responsive to the steps taken by the user while the user-controlled virtual game piece is within a predefined distance of the interaction virtual game piece.
