Novel multi-device interactive experience triggered by celestial-body detection.
This disclosure presents systems and methods to provide a shared augmented reality experience across multiple presentation devices based on detection of one or more extraterrestrial bodies. A presentation device may be configured to detect presence of an extraterrestrial body. The presentation device may obtain resource information corresponding to the extraterrestrial body. The resource information may specify information specific to the extraterrestrial body including a location of the extraterrestrial body. The presentation device may generate an image of a virtual object. The image may be presented so that the virtual object may be perceived as being present at the location of the extraterrestrial body. The virtual object may augment the appearance of the extraterrestrial body. Gameplay may be carried out utilizing the virtual object.
FIELD
This disclosure relates to systems and methods to provide a shared interactive experience across multiple presentation devices based on detection of one or more extraterrestrial bodies.BACKGROUND
Devices and systems are available to provide virtual reality (VR) and/or augmented reality (AR) experiences. In particular, handheld and/or wearable technology may be used. Wearable technology may include head-mounted displays (HMD). Handheld technology may include mobile computing platforms, such as smart phones and/or tablets.
Stargazing applications allow a user to point their mobile phone's camera at the sky and obtain information about the stars, planets, and/or other celestial bodies present in the night's sky. Some applications may provide overlays that highlight the celestial bodies currently being viewed. For example, a user may point their mobile phone's camera at the Big Dipper, and an application may provide an overlay of lines connecting the stars that form it.SUMMARY
One aspect of the disclosure relates to a system configured to provide a shared interactive experience across multiple presentation devices based on detection of one or more extraterrestrial bodies. An extraterrestrial body may refer to an entity located off of the Earth's surface. An extraterrestrial body may be an entity present within the Earth's atmosphere and/or outside of the Earth's atmosphere. An extraterrestrial body may be a naturally occurring entity and/or an man-ma
1. A system configured to provide a shared augmented reality experience across multiple presentation devices, the system comprising: non-transitory electronic storage storing: environment record information, the environment record information defining a composition of a real-world environment, the composition of the real-world environment including one or more reference points; and virtual content information, the virtual content information defining a virtual environment including virtual content, the virtual content including one or more virtual objects, wherein the virtual environment is specified with respect to the one or more reference points within the real-world environment; a presentation device, the presentation device being configured to generate images of the virtual environment including the virtual content and present the images such that the virtual environment including the virtual content is perceived by a user as being located in a real-world environment; and one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: detect presence of an extraterrestrial body; obtain resource information corresponding to the extraterrestrial body, the resource information specifying information specific to the extraterrestrial body, wherein the resource information specifies a location of the extraterrestrial body; specify, within the environment record information, the location of the extraterrestrial body as a first reference point within the real-world environment so that the virtual environment is specified with respect to the location of the extraterrestrial body; control the presentation device to generate an image of a virtual object, the image being generated so that the virtual object is perceived as being present at the location of the extraterrestrial body such that the virtual object augments the appearance of the extraterrestrial body; and control the presentation device to effectuate gameplay within the virtual environment being perceived by the user as being located in the real-world environment, wherein effectuating the gameplay within the virtual environment includes facilitating user interactions with the virtual object.
11. A method to provide a shared augmented reality experience across multiple presentation devices, the method being implemented in a presentation device including one or more physical processors, the method comprising: obtaining: environment record information, the environment record information defining a composition of a real-world environment, the composition of the real-world environment including one or more reference points; and virtual content information, the virtual content information defining a virtual environment including virtual content, the virtual content including one or more virtual objects, wherein the virtual environment is specified with respect to the one or more reference points within the real-world environment; detecting presence of an extraterrestrial body; obtaining resource information corresponding to the extraterrestrial body, the resource information specifying information specific to the extraterrestrial body, wherein the resource information specifies a location of the extraterrestrial body; specifying, within the environment record information, the location of the extraterrestrial body as a first reference point within the real-world environment so that the virtual environment is specified with respect to the location of the extraterrestrial body; generating images of the virtual environment including the virtual content and presenting the images such that the virtual environment including the virtual content is perceived by a user as being located in the real-world environment, the images including an image of a virtual object, the image being generated so that the virtual object is perceived as being present at the location of the extraterrestrial body such that the virtual object augments the appearance of the extraterrestrial body; and effectuating gameplay within the virtual environment being perceived by the user as being located in the real-world environment, wherein effectuating the gameplay within the virtual environment includes facilitating user interactions with the virtual object.
