A system and method for generating a virtual gamespace for display to multiple players via respective web browsers is disclosed. A virtual gamespace, including a two-dimensional landscape, is generated and divided according to a number of devices participating in a game. The divided portions are provided to the devices for display so that the landscape is viewable when each divided portion is displayed on a respective one of the devices and the devices are collectively viewed together. A server receives control information for a game token from a device, determines one of the divided portions of the 2-D landscape for display of the game token based on the control information, and transmits the control information to the device responsible for displaying the determined portion of the 2-D landscape, and the game token is rendered in connection with the determined portion according to the control information.

Multiplayer game for display across multiple devices

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an interactive social game. In one aspect, a method involves a computing system initiating a game application that provides a game of one or more rounds of gameplay. During each round of gameplay, the method involves the computing system receiving first and second body-movement data corresponding to body movement associated with a first and second HMD, respectively. Based on the first and second body-movement data, the computing system generates: (a) a first competitor data indicating a graphical representation of the body movement associated with the second HMD and (b) a second competitor data indicating a graphical representation of the body movement associated with the first HMD. The computing system then transmits to the first HMD the first competitor data to facilitate display of the graphical representation of the body movement associated with the second HMD by the first HMD.

Interactive social games on head-mountable devices

Disclosed herein are embodiments of an image-recognition based game. In one aspect, a method involves (1) receiving by a computing device an input to initiate a game application, (2) causing the game application to initiate a game, and (3) during gameplay of the game: (a) causing a graphical display of the computing device to display a silhouette object that includes at least a shape of the silhouette object, (b) receiving by the computing device image data of an environment that includes a real-world object, (c) analyzing the image data to determine one or more similarity measures that indicate similarity between the real-world object and the silhouette object, where one of the similarity measures indicates similarity between a shape of the real-world object and the shape of the silhouette object, and (d) causing the graphical display to display a match indication based on the one or more similarity measures.
