APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PORTABLE TRACKING
First Claim
1. A method for tracking movements in a portable tracking apparatus including a movement sensor, the method comprising:
- generating virtual object position information;
determining local movement instructions for a user of the portable tracking apparatus based on the generated virtual object position information;
presenting only non-visually the local movement instructions to the user;
determining movement of the portable tracking apparatus using the movement sensor; and
presenting a non-visual feedback to the user of the portable tracking apparatus based on the determined movement of the portable tracking apparatus.

Abstract
A method for tracking movements in a portable tracking apparatus includes a movement sensor. Virtual object position information is generated and local movement instructions for a user of the portable tracking apparatus is determined based on the generated virtual object position information. The local movement instructions are presented only non-visually to the user and movement of the portable tracking apparatus is determined using the movement sensor. A non-visual feedback is presented to the user of the portable tracking apparatus based on the determined movement of the portable tracking apparatus.
