Abstract:
A computer-implemented method and system to deliver enhanced augmented reality gameplay experience for Trading Card Games. The computer-implemented method includes setting up a gaming session with a plurality of Gamers through a user interface. The computer-implemented method includes scanning one or more relevant cards and identifying a Game Component represented by the relevant cards. The computer-implemented method includes retrieving a pre-defined sequence of animated movements of a 3D model of the Game Component from a database by the game server. Further, the computer-implemented method includes superimposing the sequence of animated movements onto the image of the trading card as captured by the camera of the gaming device, thereby giving the effect of the animated 3D model augmenting the real image of the static trading card so that the Game Component appears to be alive. Furthermore, the computer-implemented method includes capturing one or more actions taken on the Game Components by the Gamer by a plurality of Input Parameters. Moreover, the computer-implemented method includes detecting information on the actions captured and subsequently sending the information to the Gaming Server through the data network. The computer-implemented method includes generating Outcome Parameters by logically matching the one or more actions taken with the cards in play against one or more actions and cards in play by the opposing Gamer. The computer-implemented method also includes superimposing the actions of the Outcome Parameters thereby giving the effect of the animated 3D model augmenting the real image of the static trading card to display the consequence of the Gamers one or more actions. The computer-implemented method includes completing the gaming session until the end is reached, the end is defined by the rules of the TCGs being played.
