The controller can be utilized for determining the center of gravity of a player character.
Claims20
A motorcycle video game controller comprising:
- a hand-held controller that measures an input steering angle;
- and
- a helmet controller that measures a positional location wherein the positional location is the relative location of the head tracker to the hand-held controller,
- wherein the simulation utilizes the positional location of the helmet controller to determine an effective center of gravity and utilizes said center of gravity to determine a level of traction on at least one of the wheels of the motorcycle.
1 more element
A method of controlling a motorcycle video game simulation comprising:
- turning a hand-held controller opposite the direction to a desired turn,
- providing a first center of gravity related to the center of gravity of a motorcycle,
- determining a first position of a helmet controller,
- translating the helmet controller in the direction of the desired turn,
- determining a second position of the helmet controller,
- determining a second center of gravity based on a delta between the first position and the second position,
- combining the second center of gravity with the first center of gravity,
- utilizing the combined first and second centers of gravity to determine a level of traction on one of the wheels of the motorcycle.
