Abstract
Systems, methods, and computer program products to provide responses to emergent group activities in an interactive environment, by monitoring actions of one or more avatars in the interactive environment, the one or more avatars being controlled by a respective user, detecting a first action matching a first action property in a first group activity template for a first group activity, of a plurality of group activity templates, determining that the first group activity is occurring in the interactive environment, and issuing to one or more components of the interactive environment, an indication to perform a respective predefined operation.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method to provide responses to emergent group activities in an interactive environment having a plurality of avatars, comprising:
- monitoring actions of one or more avatars in the interactive environment, the one or more avatars being controlled by a respective user;
- detecting a first action matching a first action property in a first group activity template for a first group activity, of a plurality of group activity templates;
- and
- responsive to determining that the first activity is occurring, issuing to one or more components of the interactive environment by operation of one or more computer processors, an indication to perform a respective predefined operation.
A system, comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- and
- a memory containing a program, which when executed by the one or more computer processors, performs an operation to provide responses to emergent group activities in an interactive environment having a plurality of avatars, the operation comprising:
- monitoring actions of one or more avatars in the interactive environment, the one or more avatars being controlled by a respective user;
- detecting a first action matching a first action property in a first group activity template for a first group activity, of a plurality of group activity templates;
- and
- responsive to determining that the first activity is occurring, issuing to one or more components of the interactive environment, an indication to perform a respective predefined operation.
A computer program product to provide responses to emergent group activities in an interactive environment having a plurality of avatars, the computer program product comprising:
- a computer-readable storage medium having computer-readable program code embodied therewith, the computer-readable program code comprising:
- computer-readable program code configured to monitor actions of one or more avatars in the interactive environment, the one or more avatars being controlled by a respective user;
- computer-readable program code configured to detect a first action matching a first action property in a first group activity template for a first group activity, of a plurality of group activity templates;
- and
- computer-readable program code configured to, responsive to determining that the first activity is occurring, issue to one or more components of the interactive environment, an indication to perform a respective predefined operation.
