Abstract
In accordance with an exemplary embodiment, an augmented virtual reality game is provided for a vehicle. A method comprises receiving a real-time video image during operation of a vehicle from a camera mounted on the vehicle and merging the real-time video image with one or more virtual images to provide an augmented reality image. The augmented reality image is then transmitted to a display of a gaming device during the operation of the vehicle. A system comprises a camera providing a real-time video image and a controller coupled to the camera. Additionally, a database provides the controller with one or more virtual images so that the controller may provide an augmented reality image by merging the real-time video image with the one or more virtual images. Finally, a transmitter is included for transmitting the augmented reality image to a display of a game device during the operation of the vehicle.
