Abstract
The present invention provides a method and apparatus that are directed to accepting a plurality of positional data with corresponding times of the motion, determining one or more continuous positional functions that together represent an approximation of path of the positional data, and determining, for each positional function, one or more time functions that together represent an approximation of the times for the positional data corresponding to the positional functions.

A method for determining a smooth representation of a motion of an input device, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of positional data for an audio source at a processor, each positional data having an associated input transform and time data;
- determining with the processor one or more continuous positional functions that output an approximation of the positional data;
- and
- determining with the processor one or more time functions that output an approximation of the associated time data.
An apparatus for determining a smooth representation of a motion, comprising:
- an input device, configured to generate a series of positional data values for an audio source, each positional data value having an associated input transform and time data value;
- a computer system, configured to:
- receive the series of positional data values and associated time data values;
- determine one or more continuous positional functions that generate an approximation of the positional data values;
- and
- determine, for each positional function, one or more time functions that generate an approximation of the associated time data values for the positional data values.
A method for determining a smooth representation of a motion of an input device, comprising:
- receiving a plurality of positional data for an audio source at a processor, each positional data having an associated input transform and time data;
- determining with the processor one or more continuous positional functions that output an approximation of the positional data;
- and
- determining with the processor one or more time functions that output an approximation of the associated time data, wherein the positional data is a representation of one or more a position, a motion and an orientation of the input device and wherein the time associated with the positional data comprises a time corresponding to the input device at an associated position.
