AUGMENTED REALITY BASED GAMIFICATION FOR LOCATION-BASED MAN-MACHINE INTERACTIONS

摘要

When a user moves into a geographical region around a location, a notification is sent to the user computing device regarding gameplay and an associated incentive related to a merchant location. The user enters the merchant location and a game server generates augmented reality (AR) data for the computing device to use in playing a game at the merchant location. The camera of the computing device captures interior views of the merchant location and a game instance on the computing device uses those images in generation of an AR game at the user computing device related to the merchant. Upon successful completion of the game play, the user receives an incentive or award. The merchant may use an application program interface (API) hosted by the game server to allow specifying game conditions and related awards.
