Systems for using three-dimensional object as controller in an interactive game
First Claim
1. A system for using a three-dimensional object as a controlling device when interfacing with a computer system, comprising:
- a camera configured to capture data from a three-dimensional space;
the computer system being interfaced with the camera;
storage being in communication with the computer system; and
the computer system providing data to a display, the data defined to display a plurality of graphical display screens to enable set-up of a capture session to obtain geometric parameters of the three-dimensional object and assign actions to be performed with the three-dimensional object when moved in front of the camera during an interactive session, the geometric parameters and the assigned actions being saved to a database on the storage for access during the interactive session or future interactive sessions;
wherein the assigned actions being custom defined for particular movements made on the three-dimensional object in front of the camera;
wherein the three-dimensional object has a visible shape that is different based on a viewable perspective captured by the camera, and each visible shape coveys information.

Abstract
A system for initiating and using a three-dimensional object as a controlling device when interfacing with a computer system used for interactive video game play is provided. One example system includes an interface for receiving data from a capturing device of a three-dimensional space and storage coupled with computer system. The computer system provides data to a screen and receiving user input to obtain geometric parameters of the three-dimensional object and assign actions to be performed with the three-dimensional object when moved or placed in positions in front of the capture device during interactive video game play. The geometric parameters and the assigned actions being saved to a database on the storage for access during interactive video game play or future interactive sessions.
