Operation of a set of devices

A method of operating a real device capable of generating ambient stimuli external of a virtual game world generated from a game world model, the device having at least one adjustable parameter associated therewith, the method comprising:

• A) deriving, from the game world model, a real-world description in the form of markup language instructions;
• B) interpreting the markup language instructions and generating at least one device specific parameter adjustment therefrom;
• C) modifying the at least one parameter of the device according to the specific parameter adjustments;
• and
• D) generating ambient stimuli external of the virtual game world with the device according to the modified parameter.

A system capable of generating ambient stimuli external of a virtual game world comprising:

• a memory for storing a game world model;
• a computer game process coupled to the memory for generating a computer game representation of the game world model;
• a mechanism for displaying a video representation of a portion of the game world model as generated by the computer game process, said portion representing a particular location of the game world model being experienced by a user;
• a translator responsive to a signal produced by the computer game process and capable of analyzing the signal and deriving a real world description of the location in the form of a markup language instructions;
• a browser portion, responsive to the at least one markup language instruction, for interpreting the instruction and for generating device specific parameter adjustments therefrom;
• at least one device responsive to the browser portion and capable of generating ambient stimuli and having at least one adjustable parameter related thereto.

A real device comprising a you:

• means capable of generating ambient stimuli and having at least one adjustable parameter related thereto,
• means for receiving a real-world description in the form of at least one instruction of a markup language;
• a browser portion, responsive to the at least one markup language instruction, for interpreting the instruction and for generating a specific parameter adjustment therefrom;
• and
• means for modifying one or more of parameter configurations according to the generated parameter adjustment.
