1. A system for controlling presentation of a rendered scene based on user-controlled movement of a sensed object, comprising:

  • one or more sensed locations affixed to the sensed object in a position offset from a desired control position associated with the sensed object;

    a sensing apparatus to sense an actual position of the sensed locations relative to the sensing apparatus; and

    a motion control engine executable on a computing device, in response to the motion control engine receiving position data indicative of the actual position of the sensed locations from the sensing apparatus, the motion control engine being configured to generate an adjusted position based on the position data, wherein the adjusted position is offset from the actual position of the sensed locations to correspond to the desired control position of the sensed object, wherein the adjusted position is fixed relative to the actual position of the sensed locations, and wherein the adjusted position corresponding to the desired control position of the sensed object is used to control a presentation of a rendered scene generated by a computing device on a display positioned away from a user in a fixed location while the user moves relative to the display.
