Abstract
A method and apparatus are disclosed for automatically assigning flagged locations that are potentially discoverable when encountered by one or more of Augmented Reality (AR) or Virtual Reality (VR) devices and assigning a value to each flagged location which is revealed when the one or more AR or VR devices encounters a flagged location. A terrain database is maintained that is comprised of a higher dimensional map of portions of an environmental model that establishes a total area of the higher dimensional environmental model. Flagged locations are generated in the terrain database utilizing input from a Random Number Generator (RNG) function. A real time server automatically assigns a value to each of the flagged locations when an AR or VR device discovers a flagged location. The assigned value is displayed to the AR or VR device that discovered the respective flagged location.
