ELECTRONIC SIMULATION OF EVENTS VIA COMPUTER-BASED GAMING TECHNOLOGIES
Systems and methods for electronic simulation of events via computer-based gaming technologies are provided. Data relating to an event such as a sports games is received containing event object information. Events objects can be, for example, players on a field or objects relating to the event environment. A game object processing module correlates the event objects to game event objects. A video game console performs a game simulation using the game event objects, by applying the event data to the event objects, and then displaying the game simulation on the game console. The result is a simulation of the event via the game console.

receiving event data associated with a plurality of event objects;
associating the event objects with a plurality of game event objects;
performing a game simulation in accordance with the game event objects;
applying the event data to the plurality of game objects; and
displaying the game simulation.
2 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the event data includes position information associated with an event object.
3 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the event data includes orientation information associated with an event object.
4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the game event object includes game simulation data.
5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the game event object includes game heuristics.
