Apparatus for adapting virtual gaming with real world information

A method, comprising:

• deploying, by a processing system including a processor, one or more physical objects in a physical location, the deploying comprising raising a first object of the one or more physical objects up to a playing surface and lowering a second object of the one or more physical objects to the playing surface;
• mapping, by the processing system, boundary and topographical information of the physical location, including the one or more physical objects, to a virtual gaming space;
• transmitting, by the processing system, first information including first orientation information for a computing device at the physical location to the virtual gaming space;
• transmitting, by the processing system, second information representative of a mapping of second orientation information of a computer-generated player to the virtual gaming space, wherein the computer-generated player comprises a player controlled by a software application;
• identifying, by the processing system, an action generated by the computing device while located at the physical location;
• replacing, by the processing system, the action with a substitute action according to a profile;
• mapping, by the processing system, the substitute action to the virtual gaming space to generate a virtual action;
• determining, by the processing system according to the virtual action, a virtual effect on the computer-generated player;
• and
• transmitting, by the processing system, third information representative of the virtual effect.

A system, comprising:

• a processing system including a processor;
• and
• a memory that stores executable instructions that, when executed by the processing system, facilitate performance of operations, the operations comprising:
• selectively deploying one or more physical objects at a physical location, the selectively deploying comprising raising a first object of the one or more physical objects up to a playing surface, lowering a second object of the one or more physical objects to the playing surface, or a combination thereof;
• transmitting, to a communication device at the physical location, first information representative of a mapping of first orientation information of the communication device, and physical location information about the physical location including the one or more physical objects, to a virtual gaming space;
• transmitting, to the communication device, second information representative of a mapping of second of orientation information of a controllable object to the virtual gaming space;
• receiving movement information generated by the communication device;
• determining, according to the movement information, a virtual effect on the controllable object;
• and
• transmitting, to the communication device, third information representative of the virtual effect.
