Method and apparatus for presenting performances of gamers

A non-transitory machine-readable storage device, comprising instructions which when executed cause a processor to perform operations comprising:

• detecting a first group of stimulus signals from a first gaming accessory device;
• detecting a second group of stimulus signals from a second gaming accessory device, wherein the first group of stimulus signals and the second group of stimulus signals are detected during playing of a video game;
• comparing the first group of stimulus signals with the second group of stimulus signals to determine a first performance measure of a first gamer controlling the first gaming accessory device, and a second performance measure of a second gamer controlling the second gaming accessory device;
• presenting one or more performance factors determined from one of the first performance measure, the second performance measure, or both to provide a competitive comparison between the first gamer and the second gamer;
• and
• presenting a playback session of a recorded segment of the video game to demonstrate the one or more performance factors.

A method, comprising:

• detecting a first group of stimulus signals from a first gaming accessory device;
• detecting a second group of stimulus signals from a second gaming accessory device, wherein the first group of stimulus signals and the second group of stimulus signals are associated with a playing of a first video game;
• comparing the first group of stimulus signals with the second group of stimulus signals to determine a first performance measure of a first gamer controlling the first gaming accessory device, and a second performance measure of a second gamer controlling the second gaming accessory device;
• presenting one or more performance factors determined from one of the first performance measure, the second performance measure, or both to provide a competitive comparison between the first gamer and the second gamer;
• and
• identifying a skill set of the first gamer or the second gamer based on the respective performance measure and on a performance with respect to a second video game different from the first video game.
