Wearable garments recognition and integration with an interactive gaming system

A non-transitory computer-readable medium containing computer program code that, when executed by operation of one or more computer processors, performs an operation comprising:

• determining an identification credential that uniquely identifies a player within an interactive gaming environment;
• retrieving a gameplay state of the player within the interactive gaming environment, wherein the gameplay state includes at least one of a rank of the player, one or more accomplishments of the player and a group to which the player belongs within the interactive gaming environment;
• determining a wearable garment device having a preexisting association with the player within the interactive gaming environment, wherein the wearable garment device is configured with one or more display devices;
• generating a graphical depiction of at least one of the rank, the one or more accomplishments and the group of the player specified within the gameplay state;
• and
• causing the generated graphical depiction to be output for display using the one or more display devices of the wearable garment device.

A method, comprising:

• receiving, at a first interactive device, from a wearable garment device, over a data communications network, one or more data packets specifying a gameplay state of a player within an interactive gaming environment;
• retrieving predefined gameplay attribute data, from a memory of the first interactive device;
• determining a relationship between the gameplay state of the player and the predefined gameplay attribute data;
• accessing a data structure specifying a mapping of relationships to device actions, using the determined relationship, to determine one or more device actions;
• transmitting an instruction to one or more output devices of the first interactive device, to perform the determined one or more device actions.
