Abstract (en)

[origin: WO02062436A2] Real world data is integrated into a gaming experience to influence the game and actions of a player. A game module creates game elements from the real world data associated with the location. Weather conditions are simulated based on weather information (104) from different observation locations in the world, and traffic conditions (100) are simulated as well. In a flight simulator game, the game integrates real aircrafts and real weather conditions as the player's aircraft navigates in the world.
