Methods, systems, apparatuses, and devices for facilitating provisioning of a virtual experience

Abstract

A system, including a memory in communication with a processor, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to create and store a geospatial virtual environment comprising a plurality of entities each having one or more location attributes and corresponding time attributes wherein at least one of the plurality of entities is a virtual asset and wherein at least one of the plurality of entities represents a real vehicle having a defined location within a physical space having spatial coordinates that are mapped to the virtual environment, receive an updated location of the real vehicle, map the received location of the real vehicle to the geospatial virtual environment, update the entity of the geospatial virtual environment corresponding to the real vehicle with the mapped received location and output data comprising a portion of the geospatial virtual environment to a display device adapted to display to an operator of the real vehicle a mixed reality representation of at least one virtual entity.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A system, comprising:
 a memory in communication with a processor, the memory storing instructions that when executed by the processor cause the processor to:
 (a) create and store a geospatial virtual environment comprising a plurality of entities each having one or more location attributes and corresponding time attributes wherein at least one of the plurality of entities is a virtual asset and wherein at least one of the plurality of entities represents a real vehicle having a defined location within a physical space having spatial coordinates that are mapped to the virtual environment: 
 (b) receive an updated location of the real vehicle; 
 (c) map the received location of the real vehicle to the geospatial virtual environment; 
 (d) update the entity of the geospatial virtual environment corresponding to the real vehicle with the mapped received location; and 
 (e) output data comprising a portion of the geospatial virtual environment to a display device adapted to display to an operator of the real vehicle a mixed reality representation of at least one virtual entity. 
   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the real vehicle is an airplane. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the operator is a pilot of the real vehicle and the display device is further adapted to display the mixed reality representation while the pilot is performing a task selected from the group consisting of performing a training exercise, engaging in a battle and navigating a pathway. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one of the plurality of entities represents a second real vehicle. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mixed reality representation comprises a visualization of a weapons deployment from the real vehicle. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mixed reality representation comprises a visualization of a weapons deployment from the virtual asset. 
     
     
         7 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mixed reality representation comprises a visualization of a countermeasure deployment from the real vehicle. 
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the mixed reality representation comprises a visualization of a countermeasure deployment from the virtual asset. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the real vehicle is a roller coaster. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the vehicle comprises a ground transportation system vehicle.
