1. A method of enabling object recognition for a game, comprising:
- storing, in a database, at least one digital representation of an object, the at least one digital representation including, location information of the object, image data associated with a location of the object indicated by the location information, and being of a modality corresponding to a mobile device sensor of at least one mobile device;
indexing, by at least one of a server and the at least one mobile device, the object in the database based on the at least one digital representation of the object, such that the object can be identified as a target of interest from a digital representation of the environment that includes location information of the at least one mobile device, received from the mobile device sensor;
associating, by at least one of the server and the at least one mobile device, the object with content information associated with a game via an information address, such that the at least one mobile device can access the content information based on the identified object as the target of interest; and
enabling the at least one mobile device to incorporate the content information into the game.

15. A system for enabling object recognition for a game, comprising:
at least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to; store, in a database, at least one digital representation of an object, the at least one digital representation including, location information of the object, image data associated with a location of the object indicated by the location information, and being of a modality corresponding to a mobile device sensor of at least one mobile device; index the object in the database based on the at least one digital representation of the object, such that the object can be identified as a target of interest from a digital representation of the environment that includes location information of the at least one mobile device, received from the mobile device sensor; associate the object with content information associated with a game via an information address, such that the content information can be accessed based on the identified object as the target of interest; and enable an incorporation of the content information into the game. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
