US 2016/0107083 A1 · SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR ALTERING PERCEPTION OF VIRTUAL CONTENT IN A VIRTUAL SPACE

Abstract

The disclosure relates to systems and methods for altering perception of virtual or game content in a virtual space based on one or more attribute levels. The perception of some virtual or game content may not be altered. Thus, the depiction of some content is altered while other content is not. A system may alter the depiction of game content based on attributes of an entity and/or based on which entity is to perceive the game content. The different depictions of game content may be provided to the same entity at different times and/or different perceptions of game content may be provided to different entities. Thus, a rich interface may be provided that differentially depicts game content based on attribute levels and/or the entity that is to perceive the game content.

Claims23

Dependent claims

A system configured to alter perception of virtual objects in a virtual space, the system comprising:

one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
execute an instance of a game space for a game and implement the instance of the game space, wherein the game space includes game content for presentation to users of the game space and facilitates participation by users in the game space via characters, such that a first user participates in the game space and plays the game via a first character, and wherein a first virtual object is present in the instance of the game space and the first virtual object is different from the first character:
obtain a first attribute level for the first character, wherein the first attribute level is related to progress of the first character in the game;
determine a first depiction of the first virtual object for presentation to the first user in the instance of the game space, wherein the first depiction of the first virtual object is based on the first attribute level;
and
provide the first depiction of the first virtual object to the first user in the instance of the game space.

3 more elements

A computer-implemented method of altering perception of game content in a virtual space, the method being implemented in a computer that includes one or more processors configured by machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:

executing, by the one or more processors, an instance of a game space for a game and implement the instance of the game space, wherein the game space includes game content for presentation to users of the game space and facilitates participation by users in the game space via characters, such that a first user participates in the game space and plays the game via a first character, and wherein a first virtual object is present in the instance of the game space and the first virtual object is different from the first character;
obtaining, by the one or more processors, a first attribute level for the first character, wherein the first attribute level is related to progress of the first character in the game;
determining, by the one or more processors, a first depiction of the first virtual object for presentation to the first user in the instance of the game space, wherein the first depiction of the first virtual object is based on the first attribute level;
and
providing, by the one or more processors, the first depiction of the first virtual object to the first user in the instance of the game space.
