1. A method for providing amplified motion, comprising:
- using a camera to sense motion of a user;
in response to sensing the motion of the user, creating and displaying an animation of an object performing the motion of the user in a manner that is amplified in comparison to the motion of the user; and
creating and outputting audio/visual feedback in proportion to a magnitude of the sensed motion of the user.

Abstract
A camera that can sense motion of a user is connected to a computing system (e.g., video game apparatus or other type of computer). The computing system determines an action corresponding to the sensed motion of the user and determines a magnitude of the sensed motion of the user. The computing system creates and displays an animation of an object (e.g., an avatar in a video game) performing the action in a manner that is amplified in comparison to the sensed motion by a factor that is proportional to the determined magnitude. The computing system also creates and outputs audio/visual feedback in proportion to a magnitude of the sensed motion of the user.

11. A system that can provide amplified motion, comprising:
-
a camera that can sense motion of a user; and a computer connected to the camera to receive data from the camera that indicates the motion of the user, the computer determines an action corresponding to the sensed motion of the user and determines a magnitude of the sensed motion of the user, the computer creates and displays an animation of an avatar in a video game performing the action in a manner that is amplified in comparison to the sensed motion by a factor that is proportional to the determined magnitude. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16)

17. One or more processor readable storage devices having processor readable code embodied on said one or more processor readable storage devices, the processor readable code for programming one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving data from a camera that indicates motion of a user; determining an action corresponding to the motion of the user indicated by the received data, including determining the start of the action by the user and determining the end of the action by the user; and creating and displaying an animation of an object in an application performing the action in a manner that is amplified in comparison to the sensed motion of the user such that the object starts the action at the start of the action by the user and the object ends the action at the end of the action by the user. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20)
