Abstract

Multi-dimensional enhanced world view experiences are described herein that include: a) at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof; b) at least one interactive application that provides at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof; and c) at least one physical view, wherein the at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof is aligned or overlaid with the at least one physical view to produce an enhanced world view that is displayed on the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or a combination thereof. Corresponding methods of producing multi-dimensional enhanced world view experiences also include: a) providing at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof; b) providing at least one interactive application that provides at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof; and c) providing at least one physical view, wherein the at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof is aligned or overlaid with the at least one physical view to produce an enhanced world view that is displayed on the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or a combination thereof.

Claims

1. A multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience, comprising:

at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof;

at least one interactive application that provides at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof; and

at least one physical view, wherein the at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof is aligned or overlaid with the at least one physical view to produce an enhanced world view that is displayed on the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or a combination thereof.

2. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, wherein the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof comprises a smart phone, a tablet computer, wirelessly-enabled glasses, a laptop computer or a combination thereof.

3. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, wherein the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof comprises an executable software code.

4. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 3, wherein the executable software code is an application.

5. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 4, wherein the application shows the enhanced world view on the at least one software-enabled device.

6. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, further comprising at least one network computer system.

7. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 6, wherein the at least one network computer system comprises an executable software code.

8. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 7, wherein the executable code is executed on the network computer system to produce the at least one interactive application.

9. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, wherein the at least one interactive application is produced, stored, implemented, controlled or a combination thereof by a centralized server, database, other interactive storage source or combination thereof.

10. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, wherein the at least one physical view comprises a view of an existing building, home or other structure.

11. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, wherein the at least one physical view comprises a view of an existing vehicle, automobile, motorized device or apparatus, airplane, train or combination thereof.

12. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, wherein the at least one physical view comprises a view of an existing building interior, home interior, furniture arrangement or combination thereof.

13. The multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience of claim 1, wherein the enhanced world view is device-viewable.

14. A method of producing a multi-dimensional enhanced world view experience, comprising:

providing at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof;

providing at least one interactive application that provides at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof; and

providing at least one physical view, wherein the at least one virtual world overlay, virtual object or combination thereof is aligned or overlaid with the at least one physical view to produce an enhanced world view that is displayed on the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or a combination thereof.

15. The method of claim 14, wherein the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof comprises a smart phone, a tablet computer, wirelessly-enabled glasses, a laptop computer or a combination thereof.

16. The method of claim 14, wherein the at least one software-enabled device, network device, portable device or combination thereof comprises an executable software code.

17. The method of claim 16, wherein the executable software code is an application.

18. The method of claim 17, wherein the application shows the enhanced world view on the at least one software-enabled device.

19. The method of claim 14, further comprising at least one network computer system.

20. The method of claim 19, wherein the at least one network computer system comprises an executable software code.

21. The method of claim 20, wherein the executable code is executed on the network computer system to produce the at least one interactive application.

22. The method of claim 14, wherein the at least one interactive application is produced, stored, implemented, controlled or a combination thereof by a centralized server, database, other interactive storage source or combination thereof.

23. The method of claim 14, wherein the enhanced world view is device-viewable.
