Abstract
Technologies are generally described for pausing and resuming a gesture-based game. In some examples, a method performed under control of a gesture-based game system includes receiving a pause command that indicates pausing play of a gesture-based game and in response to the receipt of the pause command, capturing a first image of a player currently playing the gesture-based game, the first image being associated with a first posture of the player substantially at the time of the pause command and generating an outline of the player corresponding to the first image of the player.
Claims27
A method performed under control of a gesture-based game system, comprising:
- receiving a pause command that indicates pausing play of a gesture-based game;
- and
- in response to the receipt of the pause command,
- capturing a first image of a player currently playing the gesture-based game, the first image being associated with a first posture of the player substantially at the time of the pause command;
- and
- generating an outline of the player corresponding to the first image of the player.
A gesture-based game apparatus, comprising:
- an input receiving unit configured to receive a pause command that indicates pausing play of a gesture-based game;
- a camera configured to capture a first image of a player currently playing the gesture-based game in response to the receipt of the pause command, the first image being associated with a first posture of the player substantially at the time of the pause command;
- and
- an outline generating unit configured to generate an outline of the player corresponding to the first image of the player.
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon computer-executable instructions that, in response to execution, cause a gesture-based game apparatus to perform operations, comprising:
- receiving a pause command that indicates pausing play of a gesture-based game;
- and
- in response to the receipt of the pause command,
- capturing a first image of a player currently playing the gesture-based game, the first image being associated with a first posture of the player substantially at the time of the pause command;
- generating an outline of the player corresponding to the first image of the player;
- and
- pausing the play of the gesture-based game.
