20140179418 | UNLOCKING VIRTUAL ITEMS IN A VIRTUAL SPACE RESPONSIVE TO PHYSICAL TOKEN DETECTION - Virtual items may be unlocked in a virtual space responsive to physical token detection. A common virtual item repository may be provided in the virtual space. Once unlocked, a given virtual item may be accessible to multiple characters in the virtual space via the virtual item repository. Customization of a virtual space may be facilitated. The customization may be based on the virtual items accessible via the virtual item repository. | 06-26-2014 |
20140179443 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR EFFECTUATING MODIFICATIONS TO A VIRTUAL SPACE RESPONSIVE TO TOKEN DETECTION - Exemplary implementations may facilitate modifications to characters and/or virtual items within a virtual space, or to the virtual space itself, made responsive to detection of a token. In some implementations, a physical accessory may depict a character in the virtual space. By way of non-limiting example, the physical accessory may include a toy figurine resembling the character. A detectable token (i.e., a physical object) may be removably attached to the physical accessory. According to some implementations, responsive to the physical accessory being detected along with the removably attached token, a modification within the virtual space may be made to the character and/or a virtual item associated with the character. In some implementations, detection of the token alone may effectuate such a modification. | 06-26-2014 |
20140179444 | APPARATUS, SYSTEM, AND METHOD FOR EFFECTUATING MODIFICATIONS TO CHARACTERS AND/OR VIRTUAL ITEMS WITHIN A VIRTUAL SPACE RESPONSIVE TO TOKEN DETECTION - Exemplary implementations may facilitate modifications to characters and/or virtual items within a virtual space, or to the virtual space itself, made responsive to detection of a token.

20140181062 | PROVIDING A COMMON VIRTUAL ITEM REPOSITORY IN A VIRTUAL SPACE - Virtual items may be unlocked in a virtual space responsive to physical token detection. A common virtual item repository may be provided in the virtual space. Once unlocked, a given virtual item may be accessible to multiple characters in the virtual space via the virtual item repository. Customization of a virtual space may be facilitated. The customization may be based on the virtual items accessible via the virtual item repository. | 06-26-2014 |
20140181507 | LINKING TOKEN DETECTION AT A SINGLE COMPUTING PLATFORM WITH A USER IDENTIFICATION TO EFFECTUATE MODIFICATIONS IN VIRTUAL SPACE INSTANCES PRESENTED VIA MULTIPLE COMPUTING PLATFORMS - Token detection at a single computing platform may be linked with a user identification to unlock content and/or effectuate modifications in virtual space instances presented via multiple computing platforms, in accordance with one or more implementations. Exemplary implementations may enhance consistency in a user's experiences of a virtual space across multiple computing platforms. | 06-26-2014 |
20140181820 | FACILITATING CUSTOMIZATION OF A VIRTUAL SPACE BASED ON ACCESSIBLE VIRTUAL ITEMS - Virtual items may be unlocked in a virtual space responsive to physical token detection. A common virtual item repository may be provided in the virtual space. Once unlocked, a given virtual item may be accessible to multiple characters in the virtual space via the virtual item repository. Customization of a virtual space may be facilitated. The customization may be based on the virtual items accessible via the virtual item repository. | 06-26-2014 |
20140181994 | LINKING TOKEN DETECTION AT A SINGLE COMPUTING PLATFORM WITH A USER IDENTIFICATION TO UNLOCK CONTENT IN VIRTUAL SPACE INSTANCES PRESENTED VIA MULTIPLE COMPUTING PLATFORMS - Token detection at a single computing platform may be linked with a user identification to unlock content and/or effectuate modifications in virtual space instances presented via multiple computing platforms, in accordance with one or more implementations. Exemplary implementations may enhance consistency in a user's experiences of a virtual space across multiple computing platforms. | 06-26-2014 |
20150033317 | LINKING TOKEN DETECTION AT A SINGLE COMPUTING PLATFORM WITH A USER IDENTIFICATION TO EFFECTUATE MODIFICATIONS IN VIRTUAL SPACE INSTANCES PRESENTED VIA MULTIPLE COMPUTING PLATFORMS - Token detection at a single computing platform may be linked with a user identification to unlock content and/or effectuate modifications in virtual space instances presented via multiple computing platforms, in accordance with one or more implementations. Exemplary implementations may enhance consistency in a user's experiences of a virtual space across multiple computing platforms. | 01-29-2015 |
