Abstract:
1. A system configured to effectuate modifications within an instance of a virtual space presented via multiple disparate client computing platforms responsive to detection of a token associated with a single client computing platform, the system comprising: one or more hardware processors configured by computer readable instructions to: implement the instance of the virtual space to determine views of the virtual space, the instance of the virtual space being presented via a plurality of separate and distinct client computing platforms, the plurality of client computing platforms including a first client computing platform; detect tokens based on signals received from token readers associated with individual ones of the plurality of client computing platforms, a given token being a standalone physical object, the tokens including a first token associated with the first client computing platform, the first token being detectable based on a first signal conveying information associated with the first token, the information associated with the first token conveyed by the first signal being devoid of virtual space content; and effectuate a first modification within the instance of the virtual space responsive to detection of the first token, the first modification being observable via multiple ones of the plurality client computing platforms, the first modification including a modification to a first character within the virtual space; wherein the modification to the first character includes a modification to one or more of a behavior of the first character, an ability of the first character, an appearance of the first character, or a relationship of the first character.
