1. A method, comprising:
- establishing communication between a server executing a gaming simulation program and participant devices of the gaming simulation program;
establishing a single voice channel between all the participants of the simulation program;
retrieving data obtained from a sensor;
incorporating the data into the gaming simulation program;
retrieving profiles associated with the participant devices of the gaming simulation program;
retrieving an indication from one of the profiles that one participant is a child predator; and
disabling the voice channel in response to the indication of the child predator.

Abstract
Data from live events is incorporated into virtual simulations and games. The data may be obtained from various sensors and transferred over a network. However, should one of the participants be a threat, then portions of the virtual simulations and games may be disabled to protect the other participants.
