Intuitive mobile device interface to virtual spaces

A device comprising:

• a processing unit to receive input signals and generate output signals;
• a display screen, coupled to the processing unit, to display information according to signals received from the processing unit;
• and
• a motion detection system communicatively coupled to the processing unit, to detect the absolute motion of the device in multi-dimensional space, to measure the time of the motion, and to provide corresponding signals to the processing unit.

A system comprising:

• means for detecting the absolute motion of a mobile device in multi-dimensional space;
• means for measuring the time of the motion;
• and
• means for modifying what is displayed on a display screen of the mobile device based on the detected motion of the mobile device.

A machine-readable medium comprising at least one instruction to correlate motion in real space to motion in virtual space, which when executed by a processor, causes the processor to perform operations comprising:

• detecting the absolute motion of a mobile device in multi-dimensional space;
• measuring the time of the motion;
• and
• correlating the motion of the mobile device to a one or more display altering commands.
