Gaming peripheral apparatus for a gaming computing device
First Claim
1. A gaming peripheral apparatus for a gaming computing device, comprising:
- a passive marker having a surface covered with a reflective layer for reflecting light that is invisible to human eyes; and
an interactive input device including at least one light source for emitting light that is invisible to human eyes and that is to be reflected by said passive marker, an image sensing module for generating image data corresponding to images that include said passive marker and that are sensed thereby, a filter unit disposed in front of said image sensing module for filtering light that is visible to human eyes from the images sensed by said image sensing module, and an interface module coupled electrically to said image sensing module and adapted for transmitting the image data to the gaming computing device.

Abstract
A gaming peripheral apparatus for a gaming computing device includes a passive marker and an interactive input device. The passive marker has a surface covered with a reflective layer for reflecting light invisible to human eyes. The interactive input device includes at least one light source, an image sensing module, a filter unit, and an interface module. Each light source emits light that is invisible to human eyes and that is to be reflected by the passive marker. The image sensing module generates image data corresponding to images that include the passive marker and that are sensed thereby. The filter unit is disposed in front of the image sensing module, and filters light visible to human eyes from the images sensed by the image sensing module. The interface module is coupled electrically to the image sensing module, and is adapted for transmitting the image data to the gaming computing device.
