Abstract
Systems and methods of interacting with a virtual space, in which a mobile device is used to electronically capture image data of a real-world object, the image data is used to identify information related to the real-world object, and the information is used to interact with software to control at least one of: (a) an aspect of an electronic game; and (b) a second device local to the mobile device. Contemplated systems and methods can be used to gaming, in which the image data can be used to identify a name of the real-world object, to classify the real-world object, identify the real-world object as a player in the game, to identify the real-world object as a goal object or as having some other value in the game, to use the image data to identify the real-world object as a goal object in the game.

19. A mobile device configured to assess environmental characteristics comprising:
-
a camera configured to capture video representing a surrounding environment; an image processing platform configured to; analyze the video to determine whether the video includes at least one indentifying object indicative of an environmental characteristic; identify the at least one identifying object indicative of an environmental characteristic within the surrounding environment; and provide to the user of the mobile device, via the mobile device, information associated with the environmental characteristic. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36)
