15. A game controller, comprising:
-
a body having a forward section to be oriented towards a screen when a progress of a game controlled in accordance with the game controller is displayed upon the screen;
at least one input device assembled with the body, the input device manipulable by a user to register an input from the user; and
at least one photonically detectable (“
PD”
) element assembled with the body, a position of the photonically detectable element within an image being recordable by an image capture device when the forward section is oriented at least generally towards the screen, wherein positions of the PD element at different points in time are quantifiable at quantify movement of the body in space. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40)

41. A game controller, comprising:
-
a body having a forward section to be oriented towards a screen when a progress of a game controlled in accordance with the game controller is displayed upon the screen;
at least one input device assembled with the body, the input device manipulable by a user to register an input from the user;
a signal encoder; and
an infrared signal transmitter operable to transmit an infrared signal over the air using a signal generated by the signal encoder, the signal encoder being programmable to encode the signal with a selected one of a plurality of signaling codes for reception by an electronic device having an infrared receiver and a signal decoder operable with the selected one signaling code.
