Claim Text:
1. A method for generating an image of an object within a region, comprising: transmitting ultrasound, via a first ultrasonic transmitter of an ultrasonic transmission system, into the region; receiving, via a first ultrasonic receiver of an ultrasonic receiver system, ultrasonic reflections of the transmitted ultrasound from a plurality of sites on the object within the region, the ultrasonic reflections comprising sound waves within a first frequency band, the ultrasonic reflections including direct ultrasonic reflection and rebounded ultrasonic reflection, wherein the direct ultrasonic reflection is reflected from a first portion of the object and the rebounded ultrasonic reflection is reflected from a second, different portion of the object; generating, via a processor, coarse image data of the object at a first resolution based on the received ultrasonic reflections; identifying a portion of interest on the object based on the coarse image data; receiving electromagnetic radiation from the identified portion of interest on the object, the electromagnetic radiation comprising electromagnetic waves within a second frequency band, the second frequency band being different than the first frequency band; generating fine image data of the portion of interest on the object at a second resolution based on the received electromagnetic radiation, wherein the second resolution is greater than the first resolution; determining a kinematic value associated with the portion of interest on the object based on at least one of the received electromagnetic radiation and the received ultrasonic reflections, wherein positional data is generated based at least on the direct ultrasonic reflection and the rebounded ultrasonic reflection, wherein the kinematic value is determined based at least in part on the positional data; and modifying the state of an entertainment device based on the determined kinematic value associated with the portion of interest on the object.
