Instruction Delivery Methodology & Plurality of Smart, Kinetic-Interactive-Devices (K.I.D.s)
First Claim
1. An apparatus, comprising:
- an activity device including an activity sensor for generating an activity interaction signal responsive to a sustained large-muscle physical activity of a user operating said activity device;
a controller, coupled to said activity monitor, generating a virtual environment supporting a virtual user frame-of-reference in said virtual environment, said controller generating a set of virtual education elements in said environment and a goal for said set virtual representation with respect to said virtual education elements wherein said controller is responsive to said activity interaction signal to produce an affected interaction of said virtual representation with said virtual education elements with said controller measuring a conformation of said goal by said affected interaction; and
a feedback system, coupled to said controller, for presenting said virtual environment with said frame-of-reference in relation to said virtual education elements for providing said user with feedback regarding said goal and said conformation of said goal by said affected interaction.

Abstract
An apparatus and method for an immersive active and interactive educational invention. A preferred embodiment of the apparatus includes an activity device including an activity sensor for generating an activity interaction signal responsive to a sustained large-muscle physical activity of a user operating the activity device; a controller, coupled to the activity monitor, generating a virtual environment supporting a virtual user frame-of-reference in the virtual environment, the controller generating a set of virtual education elements in the environment and a goal for the set virtual representation with respect to the virtual education elements wherein the controller is responsive to the activity interaction signal to produce an affected interaction of the virtual representation with the virtual education elements with the controller measuring a conformation of the goal by the affected interaction; and a feedback system, coupled to the controller, for presenting the virtual environment with the frame-of-reference in relation to the virtual education elements for providing the user with feedback regarding the goal and the conformation of the goal by the affected interaction.

19. A method, the method comprising:
-
a) operating a kinetic interactive device to generate an activity interaction signal responsive to a sustained large-muscle physical activity of a user; b) generating, responsive to operation of said kinetic interactive device, a virtual environment supporting a frame-of-reference, said controller generating a set of virtual education elements in said environment and a goal for said frame-of-reference with respect to said virtual education elements wherein said generating is responsive to said activity interaction signal to produce an affected interaction of said frame-of-reference with said virtual education elements with said controller measuring a conformation of said goal by said affected interaction; and c) producing feedback data of said virtual environment with said frame-of-reference in relation to said virtual education elements that provide said user with information regarding said goal and said conformation of said goal by said affected interaction.
