Abstract:
1. A motion sensing device for use with interactive computer games, the device comprising: a first camera configured to capture images along a first viewing axis; a second camera configured to capture images along a second viewing axis different from the first viewing axis; a motion processing module configured to receive images captured from the first camera, to receive images captured from the second camera, to determine a first direction of change based on the images captured along the first viewing axis, to determine a second direction of change based on the images captured along the second viewing axis, and to determine motion of the device based in part on comparing the first direction of change from the images captured from the first camera and the second direction of change from the images captured from the second camera; a distance processing module configured to receive at least one image of a user's face from the first or second camera and determine a distance to the user based in part on the at least one image of the user's face; and a display configured to display images representing an augmented reality environment associated with an interactive computer game based in part on the motion of the device and the distance to the user, the images representing the augmented reality environment including a portion of the images captured from the first camera or a portion of the images captured from the second camera automatically modified according to the interactive computer game in response to the motion of the device and the distance to the user with a virtual image associated with the interactive computer game.
