Abstract
A video game player's upper body pose and/or motion can be used for controlling lower body motion of a game character. For example, arm swinging can translate to video game character running. Raising both hands above the user's head can translate to video game character jumping. Leaning to the left or right can translate to video game character movement in the left or right directions, respectively. Additionally, raising a single hand can translate to selecting a user interface button.
Claims20
An apparatus comprising:
- at least one processor configured to:
- receive input from a camera;
- based on the input, identify at least one factor related to a user's upper body;
- and
- based on identification of the at least one factor related to the user's upper body, control lower body motion of a video game character according to the at least one factor.
2 more elements
A method, comprising:
- receiving input from a camera;
- based on the input, identifying at least one factor related to a user's upper body;
- and
- based on identifying the at least one factor related to the user's upper body, controlling execution of a computer simulation to indicate lower body motion of a simulation character according to the at least one factor.
1 more element
A device comprising:
- at least one computer storage that is not a transitory signal and that comprises instructions executable by at least one processor to:
- receive input from a camera;
- based on the input, identify at least one factor related to a user's upper body;
- and
- based on identification of the at least one factor related to the user's upper body, control execution of a computer simulation to indicate lower body motion in the computer simulation according to the at least one factor.
