International ClassA63F 009/24AbstractA game play system allows remote players to participate in a concurrent simulation of a live event as the live event is occurring. The system gathers input from sensors located at the live event, preprocesses this input, and transfers it to a computer system, which uses this input to create a concurrent simulation of the live event. A remote game player can then interact with the concurrent simulation by providing input to the concurrent simulation through a user interface. This system combines the excitement of a highly interactive video game with the drama and publicity surrounding a live event. The live event can thereby set the standard of performance for the concurrent simulation. Remote game players may additionally compete against each other to determine an overall global winner amongst the remote game players in the live event.Field of SearchPerceptible output or display (e.g., tactile, etc.)Visual (e.g., enhanced graphics, etc.) Three-dimensional characterization Object priority or perspective With communication link (e.g., television broadcast, etc.) Telephonic (e.g., modem, etc.) Network type (e.g., computer network, etc.) In a race game | |
