Claim 9:
10. A user control system of a virtual player within a multi-player entertainment program, comprising:
a sensor configured to capture data related to a factor that changes contemporaneously with a change in a geometry of one of a user's face, head, neck, and shoulders,
the change in geometry manifested by an innervation of a nerve of the user,
the innervation of the nerve resulting in a contraction of a muscle of the user,
the contraction of the muscle contributing to a manifestation of the change in geometry;
a conversion processor receiving the captured data and generating in response thereto a user-selected symbolic value;
and an alteration processor receiving the user-selected symbolic value, wherein, based on the user-selected symbolic value, the user control system alters at least one of an appearance, a behavior, an orientation, a pattern of movement, an operational state, and a characteristic of a virtual player within a multi-player entertainment program.
