US 2019/0172265 A1 · INTERACTIVE VIDEO GAME SYSTEM

Abstract

An interactive video game system includes at least one sensor and at least one display device disposed near a play area. The system also includes a controller communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and the at least one display device, wherein the controller is configured to: receive, from the at least one sensor, the scanning data of the player in the play area; generate at least one model from the scanning data of the player; identify an action of the player in the play area based on the at least one model; generate the virtual representation for the player based on the at least one model and the action of the player; and present, on the display device, the virtual representation of the player in a virtual environment, wherein an action of the virtual representation is augmented relative to the action of the player.

Claims22

Dependent claims

An interactive video game system, comprising:

at least one sensor disposed near a play area and configured to collect scanning data of a player positioned in the play area;
at least one display device disposed near the play area and configured to present a virtual representation associated with the player;
and
a controller communicatively coupled to the at least one sensor and the at least one display device, wherein the controller is configured to:
receive, from the at least one sensor, the scanning data of the player in the play area;
generate at least one model based on the received scanning data of the player;
identify an action of the player in the play area based on the generated at least one model;
generate the virtual representation for the player based on the generated at least one model and the identified action of the player;
and
present, on the at least one display device, the generated virtual representation of the player in a virtual environment, wherein an action of the presented virtual representation is augmented relative to the action of the player.

7 more elements

A method of operating an interactive video game system, comprising:

receiving, via processing circuitry of a controller of the interactive video game system, scanning data of a player positioned within a play area;
generating, via the processing circuitry, a shadow model and a skeletal model of the player based on the received scanning data;
generating, via the processing circuitry, a virtual representation for the player based on the generated shadow model, wherein the virtual representation is associated with an augmented ability;
identifying, via the processing circuitry, an action of the player in the play area based on the generated skeletal model, wherein the action triggers the augmented ability associated with the virtual representation;
and
presenting, via a display device of the interactive video game system, the generated virtual representation in a virtual environment performing the augmented ability.
