Abstract:
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.
