Virtual activities that incorporate a physical activity
First Claim
1. A method of performing a virtual activity comprising:
- a user performing a non-virtual, real-world physical activity;
a data collection device collecting data related to the physical activity;
a computing device evaluating the collected data; and
the computing device providing a benefit to the user that enables the user to virtually build or reconstruct something in a virtual world that represents the real-world location at which the physical activity was performed by the user.

Abstract
A virtual activity is facilitated by receiving collected data related to a non-virtual, real-world physical activity performed by a user, evaluating the collected data to determine what benefit the user has earned by performing physical activity, and providing a benefit to the user that enables the user to virtually build or reconstruct something in a virtual world. In some embodiments, the user is enabled to virtually reconstruct a real-world location at which the physical activity was performed by unlocking a feature of that location within the virtual world. In other embodiments, the user is enabled to virtually build a fictional location by unlocking the ability to add a feature to that location within the virtual world.

15. A non-transitory computer-readable medium that stores a program configured to facilitate a virtual activity, comprising:
-
logic configured to receive collected data related to a non-virtual, real-world activity physical performed by a user; logic configured to evaluate the collected data to determine what benefit the user has earned by performing physical activity; and logic configured to provide a benefit to the user that enables the user to virtually build or reconstruct something in a virtual world that represents the real-world location at which the physical activity was performed by the user. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
