Abstract:
1. A method for processing interactive communication received from input devices interfacing with a computer program that is executed at a computer, comprising: receiving input data from a first input device and a second input device at a base station that is interfaced with the computer, the first and second input devices being movable independently of one another to interactively interface with the computer program; tracking a position of the first and second input devices through the base station; identifying a near-identical change in position of the tracked position of the first and second input devices; and setting a flag upon identifying the near-identical change in position, the flag being processed by the computer program to set an action to take during interactivity with the computer program, wherein the near-identical change in position has a magnitude, and if the magnitude exceeds a threshold level, the flag is processed to set the action, wherein the magnitude exceeding the threshold level is indicative of a movement in the base station.
