Method and system for applying gearing effects to visual tracking
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method, comprising:
- receiving captured image data from an image capture device configured to capture images of an interactive environment in which an input device is disposed, the input device having a light emitting diode (LED) array;
processing the captured image data to determine a movement of the input device in the interactive environment;
establishing a gearing that adjusts an amount by which the movement of the input device is mapped to movement of an image that is rendered to a display;
changing the gearing to different settings during the movement of the image as the movement of the image is rendered to the display.

Abstract
A system is provided, including the following: an input device, the input device including, a light emitting diode (LED) array; an image capture device configured to capture images of an interactive environment in which the input device is disposed, the image capture device configured to generate captured image data that is processed to determine a movement of the input device in the interactive environment; wherein a gearing is established that adjusts an amount by which the movement of the input device is mapped to movement of an image that is rendered to a display, the gearing changing to different settings during the movement of the image as the movement of the image is rendered to the display.

18. A system, comprising:
-
an input device, the input device including, a plurality of lights, and one or more inertial sensors configured to generate inertial data; an image capture device configured to capture images of an interactive environment in which the input device is disposed, the image capture device configured to generate captured image data that is processed with the inertial data to determine a movement of the input device in the interactive environment; wherein a gearing is established that adjusts an amount by which the movement of the input device is mapped to movement of a virtual object that is rendered to a display, the gearing changing to different settings during the movement of the virtual object as the movement of the virtual object is rendered to the display. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24)
