VISUALLY REPRESENTING VIRTUAL FANTASY SPORTS CONTESTS II

摘要

A fantasy sports visual simulation system providing an audiovisual experience that allows contest participants and spectators to view a videogame-like model of a virtual fantasy sports contest. These simulations can occur at any time between any two or more contest participants, like mini contests within the context of a broader league. Once a league is formed and team rosters are created, numerical calculations are performed based on real-athlete statistics to determine a current “state” of performance for all virtual athletes in gameplay. Further simulation inputs can be provided by artificial intelligence, coaching, randomization, and other factors. This statistical analysis is the basis for assigning performance variables to each virtual athlete, which allows the system to calculate numerical point values based on the performance of each virtual athlete and team in this fantasy sports visual simulation system. Participants can experience the simulation through a variety of audiovisual devices, including extended reality.
