Abstract

The methods and systems described herein may involve determining at least one lifeotype of at least one individual, analyzing the at least one lifeotype, and delivering content to at least one individual based on the analysis. The methods and systems described herein may involve providing a game, determining at least one lifeotype of at least one player of the game, analyzing the at least one lifeotype, and affecting the game play based on the analysis. The methods and systems described herein may involve providing an interactive space, determining at least one lifeotype of at least one individual in the space, analyzing the at least one lifeotype, and modifying at least one attribute of the space based on the analysis.

delivering content to at least one individual based on the analysis.

5. The method of claim 1, wherein the content is tagged and the tags facilitate delivery of the content based on at least one lifeotype.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis includes consideration of recommendations by at least one other individual with at least one similar lifeotype as the individual to which the content is to be delivered.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the version of the content to be delivered is determined based on the analysis.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the analysis considers data from a device worn by the at least one individual.

22. A method of modifying an interactive space, comprising:

providing an interactive space;

determining at least one lifeotype of at least one individual in the space;

analyzing the at least one lifeotype; and

modifying at least one attribute of the space based on the analysis.

25. The method of claim 22, wherein the space is an interactive gaming environment.

26. The method of claim 22, wherein the space is an interactive entertainment environment.
