Abstract
An example method includes obtaining, from a camera of a computing device, an image of an environment and then determining, based on a first comparison of the image to a stored dataset in a database, that the stored dataset lacks one or more details of the environment. Following, the method includes providing a command by the computing device that indicates a request to obtain additional data of the environment, and in response to the command, obtaining, from one or more sensors of the computing device, additional data of the environment. The method also includes determining, based on a second comparison to the stored dataset in the database, that the additional data of the environment differs from data of the environment in the stored dataset, and then providing one or more points for gameplay on an interface of the computing device.
