The keeper's note
Vehicle-to-vehicle communication driving an interactive themed environment.
Abstract
This disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications. A vehicle may store experience information and/or other information. The experience information may define virtual content to be presented to a user residing in the vehicle to create an interactive space. The virtual content may be associated with an experience location in a real-world environment. Responsive to a vehicle location of the vehicle being at or near the experience location, the user may be presented with views of the virtual content. The user may interact with the virtual content causing an update of the experience information. Upon detection of presence of a second vehicle, the vehicle may communicate the updated experience information to the second vehicle.
Background
FIELD(1) This disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications.BACKGROUND(2) Communication between vehicles may facilitate an increase in on-road safety and accuracy in the self-driving systems of autonomous vehicles. Various communications techniques exist. One technique may be through networking such as sending information to a server and relaying that information to vehicles. Another technique referred to as “vehicle-to-vehicle” communication may not require a central server. Instead, vehicle-to-vehicle communication may allow cars to communicate directly with each other over a dedicated Wi-Fi band and/or other communication scheme. Vehicles may communicate information about their position, speed, and/or other information when they become physically close to one another.SUMMARY(3) This disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications. An interactive space may include one or both of an augmented reality (AR) environment, a virtual reality (VR) environment, and/or other interactive spaces. An augmented reality environment may include views of images forming virtual content superimposed over views of the real world. A virtual reality environment may include views of images forming virtual content within a virtual environment. The terms “space” and “environment” in the context of virtual reality and/or augmented reality may be used interchange
Claims
1. A system configured to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications, the system being coupled to a vehicle, the system comprising: non-transitory electronic storage storing experience information, the experience information defining virtual content to be presented to a user residing in the vehicle to create an interactive space, the virtual content being associated with an experience location in a real-world environment; one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to: obtain location information, the location information conveying vehicle location of the vehicle in the real-world environment; responsive to the vehicle location being at or near the experience location, effectuate presentation of images of the virtual content on a client device associated with the user; obtain input information conveying user input via the client device, the user input reflecting user interaction with the virtual content; update the experience information based on the input information; detect presence of a second vehicle; effectuate communication of the experience information from the vehicle to the second vehicle; obtain trip information from the second vehicle, the trip information including a planned trip of the second vehicle; determine whether the trip of the second vehicle includes the experience location; and responsive to determining the trip of the second vehicle includes the experience location, effectuate communication of the experience information from the vehicle to the second vehicle.
5. A system configured to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications, the system being coupled to a vehicle, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by machine readable instructions to: detect presence of a second vehicle; obtain experience information from the second vehicle, the experience information defining virtual content to be presented to a user residing in a vehicle to create an interactive space, the virtual content being associated with an experience location in a real-world environment, the virtual content reflecting prior user interaction by a second user with the virtual content; obtain location information, the location information conveying vehicle location of the vehicle in the real-world environment; responsive to the vehicle location being at or near the experience location, effectuate presentation of images of the virtual content on a client device associated with the user; obtain input information conveying user input via the client device, the user input reflecting user interaction with the virtual content; update the experience information based on the input information; in response to detecting presence of the second vehicle, effectuate communication of trip information to the second vehicle, the trip information including a planned trip of the vehicle.
9. A method to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications, the method comprising: obtaining, at a vehicle, experience information, the experience information defining virtual content to be presented to a user residing in the vehicle to create an interactive space, the virtual content being associated with an experience location in a real-world environment; obtaining location information, the location information conveying vehicle location of the vehicle in the real-world environment; responsive to the vehicle location being at or near the experience location, presenting of images of the virtual content on a client device associated with the user; obtaining input information conveying user input via the client device, the user input reflecting user interaction with the virtual content; updating the experience information based on the input information; detecting, by the vehicle, presence of a second vehicle; communicating the experience information from the vehicle to the second vehicle; obtaining trip information from the second vehicle, the trip information including a planned trip of the second vehicle; determining whether the trip of the second vehicle includes the experience location; and responsive to determining the trip of the second vehicle includes the experience location, communicating the experience information from the vehicle to the second vehicle.
13. A method configured to provide an interactive space based on vehicle-to-vehicle communications, the method comprising: detecting, by a vehicle, presence of a second vehicle; obtaining, at the vehicle, experience information from the second vehicle, the experience information defining virtual content to be presented to a user residing in the vehicle to create an interactive space, the virtual content being associated with an experience location in a real-world environment, the virtual content reflecting prior user interaction by a second user with the virtual content; obtaining location information, the location information conveying vehicle location of the vehicle in the real-world environment; responsive to the vehicle location being at or near the experience location, presenting images of the virtual content on a client device associated with the user; obtaining input information conveying user input via the client device, the user input reflecting user interaction with the virtual content; updating the experience information based on the input information; in response to detecting presence of the second vehicle, communicating trip information from the vehicle to the second vehicle, the trip information including a planned trip of the vehicle.
