Abstract

A real-life target is hit with a virtual bullet or projectile using GPS-enabled or otherwise location aware devices which report their location. Real world information is taken into account, such as the terrain, elevation, weather, and line of sight, to determine if the virtual bullet hits the real-life target. Virtual information is also taken into account, such as which weapon is selected and what its distance and accuracy are. Further, information about the shooter is taken into account, such as his/her accuracy, how tired he/she is (based on recent travel distance and velocity), and how steady the GPS-enabled device is being held. Thus, a simulation which mirrors reality is made, allowing people to play a more realistic type of a virtual action with each other.
