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.

Claim (Index 10):
A system for determining whether a target has been hit, comprising:\n receiving an indication of location of a device operated by a shooter, as reported by a GPS receiver on said device operated by said shooter; receiving an indication of location of a device operated by a target, as reported by a GPS receiver on said device operated by said target; receiving weather information near said location of said device operated by said shooter, comprising at least two of present precipitation conditions, temperature, and barometric pressure; receiving map data with elevation of solid objects between said device operated by said shooter and said device operated by said target; receiving angle data of said device operated by said shooter at a time that said device operated by said shooter indicates that a shot has been fired, and determining trajectory of a virtual object shot from said device operated by said shooter; determining, based on said location of said device operated by said shooter, location of said device operated by said target, said weather information, said map data, and said angle data a probability of said virtual object hitting said target if said virtual object were a real object; causing the exhibition of hit or miss data on a display on said device operated by said shooter.
