Systems and methods for customized camera views in virtualized environments
Systems and methods for providing customized camera views of virtualized environments are provided herein. In one embodiment a method includes detecting a gameplay event of interest within a virtual gaming environment and displaying a customized camera view of the gameplay event of interest based on user input receiving during traversal of a projectile from a weapon to a target. The customized camera view has a focal point of the projectile.
1. A method, comprising:
providing a virtual gaming environment on a touch screen display device, the touch screen display device receiving touch-based user input comprising any of a swipe, tap or pinch on the touch screen display device to create a customized camera viewing experience of a gameplay event of interest involving a target, wherein the customized camera viewing experience comprises an entire event from discharging, traveling, and hitting of the target by a projectile;
during the traveling of the projectile, receiving the touch-based user input on the touch screen display device;
providing a customized camera view of the gameplay event of interest based on the touch-based user input; and
detonating explosive props within the virtual gaming environment when the target is impacted.
2. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising automatically capturing screenshots during the customized camera viewing experience.
3. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the touch-based user input comprises a touch within an interactive graphical user interface displayed on the touch screen display device, the projectile slows its traversal speed towards the target.
4. The method according to claim 3 , wherein if the touch-based user input is removed, the projectile increases its traversal speed towards the target.
5. The method according to claim 1 , wherein when the touch-based user input comprises a swipe action within the touch screen display device, a rotation of camera angle of the customized camera view occurs.
6. The method according to claim 5 , wherein the rotation of the camera angle corresponds to a direction of the swipe action.
7. The method according to claim 6 , wherein a focal point of the customized camera view is the projectile discharged from a weapon.
8. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising displaying an x-ray view of the target as the projectile impacts the target.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the customized camera view comprises a camera angle that is provided from the target's perspective.
10. A method, comprising:
providing a virtual gaming environment on a display device that receives touch-based user input that is used to alter a camera view of a gameplay event of interest to create a customized camera view during the gameplay event of interest;
providing the customized camera view of the gameplay event of interest based on the touch-based user input, wherein the customized camera view has a focal point of a projectile or a target of the gameplay event of interest;
during traveling of the projectile, receiving the touch-based user input on the display device; and
selectively changing the customized camera view, wherein the customized camera view comprises a visually altered view frame or tracking when the projectile penetrates a target, the customized camera view further comprising a path highlight effect.
11. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising selectively changing a color filter of the customized camera view.
12. The method according to claim 10 , further comprising:
receiving projectile path adjustments from an end user during traversal of the projectile to a target during the gameplay event of interest; and
selectively adjusting an impact position of the projectile based on the projectile path adjustments.
13. A method, comprising:
displaying a customized camera view of a gameplay event of interest based on touch-based user input received on a touch screen display device during traversal of an object to a target, the customized camera view having a focal point of the object, wherein the customized camera view comprises an event sequence involving the object;
displaying an x-ray view of the target as the object impacts the target; and
rotating a camera angle of the customized camera view based on a swipe action received during the event sequence.
14. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising imposing a passive tutorial on the customized camera view that instructs a user in adjusting the customized camera view.
15. The method according to claim 14 , further comprising allowing the user to perform any of pausing, rewinding, and editing the customized camera view of the gameplay event of interest.
16. The method according to claim 13 , wherein a point of view of the customized camera view is from a perspective of the target.
17. The method according to claim 13 , further comprising placing projectile tracer effect into the customized camera view.
