Patent Images
1. A method comprising:
- monitoring a user'"'"'s performance while the user is playing a game by monitoring at least three-dimensional movements of a Human Interface Device (HID);
determining, by a processor based apparatus and from monitoring the user'"'"'s performance, if the user'"'"'s performance is within a desired range of performance while the user is playing the game; and
dynamically adjusting game parameters while the user is playing the game based on whether the user'"'"'s performance is within or outside of the desired range of performance.

Abstract
Methods, apparatuses, and techniques for adjustment of game parameters based on users'"'"' performance are described. During play of a game, a user'"'"'s performance is monitored. It is then determined if the player'"'"'s performance is within a desired range of performance, and game parameters are adjusted if the user'"'"'s performance is outside the desired range. In a multi-player game, parameters can be adjusted differently for each of the players to make the overall game play more competitive.
