1. A method for providing compatibility of a first controller to a computing device already configured for a second controller, the method comprising:

  • receiving in the computing device a first set of inertial sensor data from the first controller; and

    transforming the first set of inertial sensor data in the computing device to masquerade as though the first set of inertial sensor data were coming from a second set of inertial sensors in the second controller, wherein said transforming the first set of inertial sensor data comprises;

    replicating operational characteristics of a second set of inertial sensor data of the second controller, andrelocating virtually the first set of inertial sensor data from a set of inertial sensors at physical locations in the first controller to appear as though the first set of inertial sensor data were generated from a set of inertial sensors at virtual locations in the first controller in reference to certain physical locations of the set of inertial sensors in the second controller, wherein the physical locations are different from the certain physical locations, andwherein said transforming is executed in a driver for the first controller or a software module running on a processing unit configured to work with the second controller, and the transformed first set of inertial sensor data works with motion recognizers and motion trackers built for the second controller.
