Abstract:
1. An interactive media system configured to present a substantially real-time simulation of an actual live event involving a moveable object in an arena, the system comprising: a. a tag attachable to a moveable object involved in an actual live event in an arena; b. one or more base stations located relative to the arena and operable to receive a signal from the tag; c. a location platform configured to determine the location of the tag in the arena based on the signal received from the tag by the or each base station, and to output location data representing a location of the tag in the arena; d. a virtual world environment unit operable to create a simulation of the actual live sporting event in substantially real-time, the simulation including: e. an access interface in communication with the virtual world environment unit, the access interface being arranged to provide the user with access to the simulated arena and to permit the user to observe the simulated event in substantially real-time.
