Electronic game utilizing photographs
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying a real world surface in a two-dimensional photographic image of a physical terrain and assigning the real world surface a surface type, the surface type used to determine an effect of the real world surface on the virtual object; and
determining a simulated interaction of the virtual object in relation to a model of the physical terrain and the real world surface based on the assigned surface type.
