Abstract
The present development is a system for participating in a multi-player game through IoT digital arenas. The IoT digital arena system of the present development comprises an interactive playing surface, and a means to interact with the playing surface and to receive feedback from the playing surface. Optionally, players may be digitally tagged to allow for digital interaction between the players and the playing surface and between the player and the means to interact with the playing surface.
Claims7
A system for a multi-player projectile-target game comprising (a) a playing surface with a target having a low-energy proximity sensor, wherein the target defines a configuration that can be altered during game play, (b) a projectile tagged with a digital transponder, and (c) at least one mobile computing device programmed with an application for a player to communicate, command, control and interact (“CCCI”) with the playing surface, target, projectile, a backend server, or a combination thereof, wherein the proximity sensor, the digital transponder, the mobile computing device, and the backend server are in wireless communication with each other, and wherein the playing surface is a cornhole board and the target is a platform aperture in the cornhole board and the tagged projectile is a tossing bag, and wherein the platform aperture further comprises a rotating disc, wherein the rotation of the disc is controlled by a set of gears that are adapted to be wirelessly commanded, controlled, communicated and interacted with by at least one mobile computing device.
