Graphical marker generation system for synchronizing users

1. A method comprising:

capturing an animation of an interactive graphical marker, the interactive graphical marker comprising a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region, and the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprising the first region rotating in a first direction around a rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker;

monitoring the animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation; and

in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing an initiation of an interactive game application.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the interactive graphical marker is displayed on a first computing device.

3. The method of claim 2 , wherein the interactive graphical marker comprises a three-dimensional image, an augmented reality image, a mixed reality image, a virtual reality image, or an image transformation.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first region of the interactive graphical marker comprises a plurality of images, the plurality of images comprising any one of an augmented reality image, a mixed reality image, a virtual reality image, or an image transformation.

5. The method of claim 2 , wherein the capturing the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprises capturing using a respective camera from at least a plurality of perspective viewpoints.

6. The method of claim 5 , wherein each perspective viewpoint of the plurality of perspective viewpoints is different.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the rotation in the first direction is based on a first speed.

8. The method of claim 1 , wherein the animation comprises a rotation in a second direction at a second speed around the rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker.

9. The method of claim 1 , wherein the second region comprises a buffer region positioned orthogonal to the second indicator.

10. The method of claim 8 , further comprising:

in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, terminating the interactive game application.

11. The method of claim 1 , in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing a mode change of the interactive game application.

12. A system comprising:

a processor; and

a memory storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, configure the system to perform operations comprising:

capturing an animation of an interactive graphical marker, the interactive graphical marker comprising a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region, and the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprising the first region rotating in a first direction around a rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker;

monitoring the animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation; and

in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing an initiation of an interactive game application.

13. The system of claim 12 , wherein the interactive graphical marker is displayed on a first computing device.

14. The system of claim 12 , wherein the interactive graphical marker comprises a three-dimensional image, an augmented reality image, a mixed reality image, a virtual reality image, or an image transformation.

15. The system of claim 13 , wherein the capturing the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprises capturing using a respective camera from at least a plurality of perspective viewpoints.

16. The system of claim 12 , wherein the animation comprises a rotation in a second direction at a second speed around the rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker.

17. The system of claim 12 , wherein the second region comprises a buffer region positioned orthogonal to the second indicator.

18. The system of claim 16 , further comprising:

in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing a termination of an interactive game application.

19. The system of claim 12 , in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing a mode change of the interactive game application.

20. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, the computer-readable storage medium including instructions that when executed by a computer, cause the computer to perform operations comprising:

capturing an animation of an interactive graphical marker, the interactive graphical marker comprising a first region with a first indicator and a second region with a second indicator, the second region being around a circumference of the first region, and the animation of the interactive graphical marker comprising the first region rotating in a first direction around a rotational axis of the interactive graphical marker;

monitoring the animation of the interactive graphical marker to detect when the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned at a predetermined angle of rotation; and

in response to detecting that the first indicator and the second indicator are aligned, causing an initiation of an interactive game application.
