Abstract

Video projecting can be utilized to create an immersive environment in an typical living room, This environment can deliver immersive gaming, providing a new “in body” gaming experience, where avatar and the gamer merged as one, and extending from this merged one. For example, user can “breathing fire” to fill an environment with video of fire. This can be combined with environment control device to control temperature, moisture even scent of air to delivery multi-sense gaming experience.

Claims

1. a method to create an interactive environment, the method comprising:

a) capturing location and location change of a person in an environment,

b) interpreting said location and location change, as location and location change of a game avatar in a virtual reality, visualizing at least part of said avatar,

c) visualizing said virtual reality, projecting said visualized virtual reality back into said person'"'"'s environment with said visualized avatar overlapping substantially with said person and said visualized avatar'"'"'s location change is in sync with said person'"'"'s location change.

2. method in claim 1, said avatar having body extension, visualizing said body extension.

3. method in claim 2 wherein said body extension is a member selected from a group consisting of:

lizard tongue, giant hand, tentacle, wing, claw, hybrid limbo.

an creature, a vehicle, said selected member is visualized and projected back into the environment of said user such that the location of said avatar overlapping with said user.

15. method in claim 9, the method further comprising:

controlling airflow generation electronically in a manner to be coherent with said virtual reality.

16. method in claim 9, the method further comprising:

controlling the property of said airflow electronically in a manner to be coherent with said virtual reality, said property is a member selected from a group consisting of;

temperature, moisture, scent.
