Abstract

This disclosure presents systems and methods to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations. A current distinct physical location of a participant may be determined. In response to determining the current distinct physical location in which the participant is located, operation of one or more content devices physically present in the current distinct physical location may be effectuated.

Background

FIELD

This disclosure relates to systems and methods to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations. BACKGROUND

Video calls and/or video games that incorporate a capture device, such as a video camera, may require the user to be in the same room as the device in order to participate in the video call and/or video game. SUMMARY

One aspect of the disclosure relates to a system configured to facilitate interaction by one or more participants with content presented across multiple distinct physical locations. Content may be presented on, and/or generated from, content devices included in a set of content devices. A content device may include, for example, a video game console, a television, a camera, and/or other devices. Typically, during a video call and/or while playing a video game or watching television, a user may be confined to one location (e.g., a room) where a device is located. However, it is becoming more common that buildings (e.g., houses and/or offices) may be outfitted with multiple content devices with one or more of content devices being located in a given room. Further, some buildings may include multiple capture devices (e.g., cameras, microphones, and/or other devices) with one or more of capture device being located in a given room. As such, one or more implementations of the systems and methods presented herein make it possible for a participant to move between mu

Claims

1. A system configured to present content seamlessly across multiple distinct physical locations, the system comprising: one or more physical processors configured by machine-readable instructions to: effectuate presentation of content on different content devices that are physically present in different physical locations based on presence of one or more users in individual ones of the different physical locations, such that the content is presented on an individual content device that corresponds to a user's physical presence in an individual physical location, and presented on other ones of the different content devices as the user's physical presence changes to other ones of the different physical locations so that the user can interact with the content on the different content devices while moving through the different physical locations, such that: in response to determining a first user is in a second physical location following a first physical location, effectuate operation of a content device physically present in the second physical location, wherein the operation of the content device includes effectuating presentation of first content that was previously interacted with by the first user on a first content device in the first physical location. || 11. A method to present content seamlessly across multiple distinct physical locations, the method comprising: effectuating presentation of content on different content devices that are physically present in different physical locations based on presence of one or more users in individual ones of the different physical locations, including presenting the content on an individual content device that corresponds to a user's physical presence in an individual physical location, and then presenting the content on other ones of the different content devices as the user's physical presence changes to other ones of the different physical locations so that the user can interact with the content on the different content devices while moving through the different physical locations, such that: in response to determining a first user is in a second physical location following a first physical location, effectuating operation of a content device physically present in the second physical location, wherein the operation of the content device includes effectuating presentation of first content that was previously interacted with by the first user on a first content device in the first physical location.
