The keeper's note
Virtual-space generation from physical object layout (grant dup).
Abstract
This disclosure relates to generating a virtual space based on a physical layout of objects. The virtual space may be generated based on the physical layout of objects by one or more of identifying physical objects in a real-world space, determining a physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, determining virtual space content for the identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, executing an instance of the virtual space, and/or other operations. The virtual space may include the virtual space content determined based on individual virtual space content associated with the identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects. The instance of the virtual space may be used to facilitate presentation of one or more views of the virtual space to a user and enable the user to interact with the virtual space.
Background
FIELD(1) This disclosure relates to systems and methods for generating a virtual space based on a physical layout of objects.BACKGROUND(2) Computing systems may generate a virtual space based on commands received from a controller, such as a game controller, a mouse, or a keyboard. Such computing systems do not provide for generation of a virtual space based on a physical layout of objects.SUMMARY(3) This disclosure relates to generating a virtual space based on a physical layout of objects. The virtual space may be generated based on the physical layout of objects by one or more of identifying physical objects in a real-world space, determining a physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, determining virtual space content for the identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, executing an instance of the virtual space, and/or other operations. The virtual space may include the virtual space content determined based on individual virtual space content associated with the identified physical objects, the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, and/or other information. The instance of the virtual space may be used to facilitate presentation of one or more views of the virtual space to a user and/or enable the user to interact with the virtual space.(4) A system for generating a virtual space based on a physical layout of objects may include one or more physical processors, and/or other components.

Claims
1. A system for generating a virtual space based on a physical layout of objects, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to: obtain visual information that represents a real-world space within a field-of-view of an image sensor, the real-world space including a set of physical objects, the set of physical objects including a first physical object and a second physical object that are separate, discrete, and unattached from each other, the first physical object being associated with first virtual space content and the second physical object being associated with second virtual space content; identify, from the visual information, individual ones of the physical objects in the set of physical objects; determine, from the visual information, a physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, including determining a first physical arrangement of the first physical object and the second physical object; determine virtual space content for the identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, such determination being based on individual virtual space content associated with the individual identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects so that the virtual space content for the identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects is determined based on the first virtual space content, the second virtual space content and the first physical arrangement of the first physical object and the second physical object; and execute an instance of the virtual space including the virtual space content determined based on the individual virtual space content associated with the individual identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, and use the instance of the virtual space to facilitate presentation of a view of the virtual space to a user and enable the user to interact with the virtual space; wherein: the first virtual space content includes a first virtual object, and the second virtual space content includes a first game mechanic, the first game mechanic including one or more of a game rule, a goal, a game reward, a victory condition, a defeat condition, or an effects multiplier; and the virtual space content included in the instance of the virtual space includes the first game mechanic applied to the first virtual object based on the first physical arrangement of the first physical object and the second physical object.
11. A method to generate a virtual space based on a physical layout of objects, the method comprising: obtaining visual information that represents a real-world space within a field-of-view of an image sensor, the real-world space including a set of physical objects, the set of physical objects including a first physical object and a second physical object that are separate, discrete, and unattached from each other, the first physical object being associated with first virtual space content and the second physical object being associated with second virtual space content; identifying, from the visual information, individual ones of the physical objects in the set of physical objects; determining, from the visual information, a physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, including determining a first physical arrangement of the first physical object and the second physical object; determining virtual space content for the identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, such determination being based on individual virtual space content associated with the individual identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects so that the virtual space content for the identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects is determined based on the first virtual space content, the second virtual space content and the first physical arrangement of the first physical object and the second physical object; and executing an instance of the virtual space including the virtual space content determined based on the individual virtual space content associated with the individual identified physical objects and the physical arrangement of the identified physical objects, and using the instance of the virtual space to facilitate presentation of a view of the virtual space to a user and enable the user to interact with the virtual space; wherein: the first virtual space content includes a first virtual object, and the second virtual space content includes a first game mechanic, the first game mechanic including one or more of a game rule, a goal, a game reward, a victory condition, a defeat condition, or an effects multiplier; and the virtual space content included in the instance of the virtual space includes the first game mechanic applied to the first virtual object based on the first physical arrangement of the first physical object and the second physical object.
