Abstract
A system and method relating to, in one aspect, detecting the position or orientation of a device, in the physical domain, during a processor-implemented game, and displaying the game substantially simultaneously with displaying a graphic representing the position or orientation of the device.
Claims20
A method of displaying data comprising:
- detecting a three-dimensional position, orientation, and manipulation of a device operated by a human guide, in the physical domain, during a processor-implemented game at a first location on a network;
- receiving the detected three-dimensional position, orientation, and manipulation of the device at the first location on the network as controller manipulation data;
- transmitting the controller manipulation data to a second location on the network;
- and
- displaying, at the second location on the network, the game substantially simultaneously with displaying the three-dimensional position, orientation, and manipulation of a graphic of the device based on the controller manipulation data, wherein the displaying of the three-dimensional position, orientation, and manipulation of the graphic of the device comprises displaying computer-generated hands of the human guide depicting hand positions of the human guide corresponding to the three-dimensional position, orientation, and manipulation of the device.
2 more elements
A system for displaying physical domain related information comprising:
- a controller, at a first location on a network, having user-operable controls;
- a detector, at the first location on the network, detecting the physical three-dimensional position or three-dimensional orientation of the controller being operated by a human guide;
- and
- a processor, in communication with a display at a second location on the network:
- wherein the processor displays, on a display, a graphic of the three-dimensional position, orientation and manipulation of the user-operable controls of the controller at the first location on the network;
- and
- wherein the graphic is overlaid with computer-generated hands of the human guide that depicts hand positions of the human guide corresponding to the three-dimensional position, orientation, and manipulation of the user-operable controls of the controller.
4 more elements
A method of displaying controller and other information comprising:
- determining, at a first location on a network, the three-dimensional position or three-dimensional orientation of a controller in a physical domain based on manipulation of controls on the controller by a human guide;
- rendering, at a second location on the network, a graphic of the controller on a display in response to the determined three-dimensional position, orientation or manipulation of the controller, wherein:
- the graphic of the controller indicates changes to the three-dimensional position, orientation and manipulation of the controls on the controller;
- and the graphic of the controller is overlaid with computer-generated hands of the human guide that depicts hand positions of the human guide corresponding to determined three-dimensional position, orientation, or manipulation of the controller.
