In a method modifying a user's virtual environment, a tracking module identifies a user identity and determines the location of the user. The tracking module retrieves historical user data associated with the user identity and the user location and identifies one or more patterns of user behavior using an analytical technique based on the historical user data. Upon determining one or more patterns from the data, the tracking module predicts user behavior associated with at least one parameter associated with the location and modifies at least one of a user virtual environment and a user avatar characteristics based on the predicted user behavior.
The present invention contemplates a method of producing a walkabout reality for a user through an augmented reality engine.

The augmented reality engine further analyzes the current physical environment to determine one or more customizable elements of the current physical environment and determines a predicted visual preference of the user. The augmented reality engine identifies one or more visual elements associated with the predicted visual preference of the user and renders a virtualized current physical environment within a threshold distance of the user by superimposing at least one of the one or more visual elements associated with the third-party virtual environment onto the one or more determined features and associated feature characteristics.

The AR-VR engine renders a first visual transformation of the first user and an electronic interface through which the second user can interact with at least one of the first visual transformation of the first user and the transformed visual environment. The AR-VR engine detects a change in a virtual object associated with the first user and the third-party virtual environment and identifies a real-world object corresponding to the virtual object using a sensor. The AR-VR engine links the real-world object and the virtual object and renders the change associated with the virtual object onto the real-world object.

The present application contemplates a method of providing a participant with traversable access to a local environmental context of a target. In preferred embodiments, a context engine accesses multiple views of the local environmental context and stitches together the multiple views to produce a digital, walkabout reality of the local environmental context. Upon a participant/recipient accessing a communication from a sender, the participant is able to use a portal during a viewing session to traverse the digital, walkabout reality associated with a target. It is contemplated that the target is physically located within the local environmental context.

Product placement using video content sharing community
A method of interacting with a remote object is presented. In this method, at least two interfaces are provided that are configured to allow the tapper and the content provider to join a content sharing community. A third interface is also provided to allow the tapper to select the content provider from a map that displays representations of members of the content sharing community. Then a solicitation is conveyed from the tapper to the content provider to provide a video feed. In response to the solicitation, a video feed derived from a device operated or carried by the content provider is provided to the tapper. Further, a fourth interface is provided to the tapper to select a portion of the video feed. From a video feed, an object is recognized, and a clarification question can be generated based on the recognized object and a profile of the tapper.

A remote experience system is presented. The inventive subject matter provides apparatus, systems and methods in which one can use an experience feed analysis engine to gain better understanding of how experience feeds are viewed, processed, interacted, created, broadcasted, or otherwise managed by means of experience objects and generating experience metrics that can help analyze viewing patterns, broadcasting attributes, event management characteristics, among other features that can help improve and analyze remove viewing experience.
A sensor data aggregation system is presented. The aggregation system can include a sensor interface configured to obtain sensor data from multiple sensing devices (e.g., cell phone, security cameras, vehicles, etc.) associated with an event. An aggregation server compiles the sensor data into one or more event feeds representing a dynamic, immersive sensory experience of the event. The event feed can then be presented to one or more viewers where viewers can provide feedback to individuals operating the sensing devices. For example, a viewer can request a specific image or video be taken, possibly in exchange for a payment.
