Abstract
A gesture-controlled video game is attachable to the frame of a pair of eyeglasses. A housing contains a miniaturized control unit and display, which can be attached to the user'"'"'s eyeglasses without obstructing the user'"'"'s vision through the eyeglasses. A control unit includes a memory that stores a game program and a processor that executes the game program. A display is coupled with the control unit. The image generated by the display is transmitted to an eyepiece disposed in a user'"'"'s path of vision via a fiber optic bundle. A motion sensor secured to the housing detects linear and angular motion of the housing and communicates a corresponding motion signal to the control unit. Execution of the game program by the processor is thus performed according to a user'"'"'s head gestures.
