Abstract
A system configured to provide users with interactive experiences on a set of one or more vehicles. The interactive experiences have narrative, leveling, or other persistent or shared aspects may be presented to users over a set of sessions in which the users (individually or as a group) are passengers in the set of one or more vehicles. The progress made by the users in a session is saved such that the users may continue the progress made in a following session in the set of one or more vehicles.
Claims20
A system configured to provide users with interactive experiences on a set of vehicles, the system comprising:
- electronic storage configured to store content information and progress information, the content information defining a set of virtual content for presentation within the set of vehicles during operation, and the progress information specifying progress of individual users within the set of virtual content such that the progress information specifies progress of a first user within the set of virtual content between an initial state of the set of virtual content and a goal state of the set of virtual content, the initial state of the set of virtual content being the state of the set of virtual content for the first user prior to commencement of user interaction with the set of virtual content by the first user, and the goal state of the set of virtual content being achievable within the set of virtual content by the first user through user interaction with the set of virtual content;
- one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to:
- obtain vehicle status information of the vehicles in the set of vehicles, the vehicle status information specifying real-world location and/or operation mode of the individual vehicles in the set of vehicles;
- obtain presence information indicating presence of the individual users in the individual vehicles in the set of vehicles;
- responsive to the presence information indicating presence of the first user in a first vehicle and further responsive to the vehicle status information specifying the first vehicle being at a given real-world location with a given operation mode, determine a portion of the set of virtual content to provide to the first user within the first vehicle, wherein the portion of the set of virtual content to be provided to the first user within the first vehicle is based on the progress information for the first user and the vehicle status information for the first vehicle;
- provide the portion of the set of virtual content to the first user within the first vehicle;
- and
- responsive to user interaction of the first user with the portion of the set of virtual content within the first vehicle resulting in progress by the first user toward the goal state of the set of virtual content, effectuate an update of the progress information for the first user.

- obtaining vehicle status information of the vehicles in the set of vehicles, the vehicle status information specifying real-world location and/or operation mode of the individual vehicles in the set of vehicles;
- obtaining presence information indicating presence of the individual users in the individual vehicles in the set of vehicles;
- responsive to the presence information indicating presence of a first user in a first vehicle and further responsive to the vehicle status information specifying the first vehicle being at a given real-world location with a given operation mode, determining a portion of the set of virtual content to provide to the first user within the first vehicle, wherein the portion of the set of virtual content to be provided to the first user within the first vehicle is based on progress information for the first user and the vehicle status information for the first vehicle, the progress information specifying progress of individual users within the set of virtual content such that the progress information specifies progress of the first user within the set of virtual content between an initial state of the set of virtual content and a goal state of the set of virtual content, the initial state of the set of virtual content being the state of the set of virtual content for the first user prior to commencement of user interaction with the set of virtual content by the first user, and the goal state of the set of virtual content being achievable within the set of virtual content by the first user through user interaction with the set of virtual content;
- provide the portion of the set of virtual content to the first user within the first vehicle based on content information, the content information defining the set of virtual content for presentation within the set of vehicles during operation;
- and
- responsive to user interaction of the first user with the portion of the set of virtual content within the first vehicle resulting in progress by the first user toward the goal state of the set of virtual content, effectuating an update of the progress information for the first user.
