Estimating the term…
Exemplary implementations may facilitate modifications to characters and/or virtual items within a virtual space, or to the virtual space itself, made responsive to detection of a token. In some implementations, a physical accessory may depict a character in the virtual space. By way of non-limiting example, the physical accessory may include a toy figurine resembling the character. A detectable token (i.e., a physical object) may be removably attached to the physical accessory. According to some implementations, responsive to the physical accessory being detected along with the removably attached token, a modification within the virtual space may be made to the character and/or a virtual item associated with the character. In some implementations, detection of the token alone may effectuate such a modification.
An apparatus configured to be detected by a token reader to effectuate a modification to a virtual space, the apparatus comprising:
A system configured to detect a token to effectuate a modification to a virtual space, the system comprising:
A computer-implemented method to effectuate a modification to a virtual space responsive to token detection, the method being performed by one or more processors configured to execute computer program modules, the method comprising:
The method of claim 17, wherein the one or more aspects include an environment of the virtual space, the environment being an aggregate of surroundings and conditions of the virtual space.
