Abstract:
1. A method of application control, comprising: measuring input from a motion sensor affixed to a user input device, estimating motion of the user input device from the motion sensor input, capturing image data from an imaging device associated with the user input device, estimating motion of the user input device from the image data; and if the motion of the user input device estimated from the motion sensor input agrees with the motion of the user input device estimated from the image data, then sending the motion of the user input device as estimated from the motion sensor to an application as user input, and if the motion estimate obtained from the motion sensor input disagrees with the motion estimate obtained from the image data, then altering the motion estimate obtained from the motion sensor input using the motion estimate obtained from the image data and sending the altered motion estimate to the application as user input.
