Abstract
The present disclosure includes, among other things, methods and apparatus, including computer program products, for providing an electronic game utilizing photographs.
Claims29
A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying a real world surface in a two-dimensional photographic image of a physical terrain and assigning the real world surface a surface type, the surface type used to determine an effect of the real world surface on the virtual object;
- and
- determining a simulated interaction of the virtual object in relation to a model of the physical terrain and the real world surface based on the assigned surface type.
A computer program product, encoded on a computer-readable medium, operable to cause data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- identifying a real world surface in a two-dimensional photographic image of a physical terrain and assigning the real world surface a surface type, the surface type used to determine an effect of the real world surface on the virtual object;
- and
- determining a simulated interaction of the virtual object in relation to a model of the physical terrain and the real world surface based on the assigned surface type.
A system comprising:
- a display device;
- a machine-readable storage device including a program product;
- and
- one or more processors operable to execute the program product, interact with the display device, and perform operations comprising:
- identifying a real world surface in a two-dimensional photographic image of a physical terrain and assigning the real world surface a surface type, the surface type used to determine an effect of the real world surface on the virtual object;
- and
- determining a simulated interaction of the virtual object in relation to a model of the physical terrain and the real world surface based on the assigned surface type.
