Abstract

Systems and methods are described for providing a pace indicator in an extended reality environment. First route data of a first route, wherein the first route data comprises a pace of a first user moving along the first route. Second route data of a second route is determined, wherein the second route data comprises a pace of the second user moving along the second route. A pace indicator is provided to the first user moving along the first route based on the first route data and second route data, wherein the pace indicator comprises an avatar moving along the first route in an extended reality environment, the avatar representing the second user moving along the second route.

Claims (49)

1 . A method comprising:

determining, using control circuitry, first route data of a first route, wherein the first route data comprises a pace of a first user moving along the first route;

determining, using control circuitry, second route data of a second route, wherein the second route data comprises a pace of the second user moving along the second route; and

providing, using control circuitry, a pace indicator to the first user moving along the first route based on the first route data and second route data, wherein the pace indicator comprises an avatar moving along the first route in an extended reality environment, the avatar representing the second user moving along the second route.

2 . The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

determining, concurrently, the pace of the first user moving along the first route and the pace of the second user moving along the second route; and

providing the pace indicator as the first user moves along the first route and the second user moves along the second route.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

scheduling an event comprising the first user moving along the first route and the second user moving along the second route; and

initiating a communication link between the first user and the second user for the event.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first route data comprises a condition of the first route, and the second route data comprises a condition of the second route, wherein the condition of each route comprises a physical and/or environmental condition.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , the method comprising:

determining a difference between the condition of the first route and the condition of the second route; and

updating the pace indicator in response to the difference between the condition of the first route and the condition of the second route being above a difference threshold.

6 . The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

determining an effort level of the first user moving along the first route;

determining an effort level of the second user moving along the second route;

determining whether there is a difference between the effort level of the first user moving along the first route and effort level of the second user moving along the second route; and

in response to determining that there is a difference, updating the pace indicator.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second route is geographically separated from the first route.

8 . The method according to claim 1 , the method comprising:

determining a position of the avatar in the extended reality environment relative to the first user based on the second route data.

9 . The method according to claim 8 , wherein a scaling function is applied to the second route data.

10 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the pace indicator is provided in real time or near real time.

11 . A system comprising control circuitry configured to:

determine first route data of a first route, wherein the first route data comprises a pace of a first user moving along the first route;

determine second route data of a second route, wherein the second route data comprises a pace of the second user moving along the second route; and

provide a pace indicator to the first user moving along the first route based on the first route data and second route data, wherein the pace indicator comprises an avatar moving along the first route in an extended reality environment, the avatar representing the second user moving along the second route.

12 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to:

determine, concurrently, the pace of the first user moving along the first route and the pace of the second user moving along the second route; and

provide the pace indicator as the first user moves along the first route and the second user moves along the second route.

13 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to:

schedule an event comprising the first user moving along the first route and the second user moving along the second route; and

initiate a communication link between the first user and the second user for the event.

14 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the first route data comprises a condition of the first route, and the second route data comprises a condition of the second route, wherein the condition of each route comprises a physical and/or environmental condition.

15 . The system according to claim 14 , wherein the control circuitry configured to:

determine a difference between the condition of the first route and the condition of the second route; and

update the pace indicator in response to the difference between the condition of the first route and the condition of the second route being above a difference threshold.

16 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to:

determine an effort level of the first user moving along the first route;

determine an effort level of the second user moving along the second route;

determine whether there is a difference between the effort level of the first user moving along the first route and effort level of the second user moving along the second route; and

in response to determining that there is a difference, update the pace indicator.

17 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the second route is geographically separated from the first route.

18 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to:

determine a position of the avatar in the extended reality environment relative to the first user based on the second route data.

19 . The system according to claim 18 , wherein the control circuitry configured to is configured to apply a scaling function to the second route data.

20 . The system according to claim 11 , wherein the control circuitry configured to is configured to provide the pace indicator in real time or near real time.
