Claim 11:
12. An augmented reality (AR) gaming system for operation within a game space including a plurality of real world physical structures, the AR gaming system comprising:
a processor;
a communication interface operably coupled in communication with the processor;
a first sensor operably coupled in communication with the processor, and configured to transmit, to the processor via the communication interface, a first sensor signal that identifies an object in a game space of the AR system;
a second sensor operably coupled in communication with the processor, and configured to transmit, to the processor via the communication interface, a second sensor signal that identities the object in the game space;
an AR apparatus in an AR game provided, at least in part, to the player by the AR gaming system,
wherein the object is movable by the player in the AR game by being struck to cause the object to move within the game space relative to the plurality of real world physical structures independent of the player, and
wherein the processor is configured or programmed to:
sample a first signal encoding data representative of a location of the object in the game space, wherein the first signal is, or originates from, the first sensor signal;
sample a second signal encoding data representative of the location of the object in the game space, wherein the second signal is, or originates from, the second sensor signal and wherein the second sensor is different from the first sensor;
track the location of the object in the game space based upon the data representative of the location of the object as it moves independent of the player within the game space from both of the first, and the second, sensor signals;

cause visual graphics to be provided to the AR apparatus in response to the location of the object being tracked in the game space as it moves independent of the player within the game space; and
cause themed graphics to be provided to the AR apparatus overlaid on and aligned with one or more of the real world physical structures of the game space in response to the location of the object being tracked in the game space as it moves independent of the player within the game space.
