Abstract:
An example method includes obtaining, obtaining, from one or more sensors of a computing device, data relating to a feature in an environment. Following, the method includes analyzing the data to identify one or more details of the feature in the environment and determining, based on a comparison of the data to a stored dataset in a database, that the details includes a detail that the stored dataset lacks. The method includes providing one or more game elements for gameplay on an interface of the computing device based on the details including the detail that the stored dataset lacks.
