Abstract:
1. A method for interacting with a virtual environment of a system, comprising: a) positioning at least one wearable patch on a user, the wearable patch comprising (i) a motion sensor adapted to collect motion information from said user and provide said motion information to said system in communication with said wearable patch, and (ii) a physiological sensor to acquire physiological data from said subject; b) using said motion sensor of the at least one wearable patch to acquire motion information and said physiological data relating to the user; c) searching, with the aid of a processor, for a matching motion that is consistent with motion information acquired in b) and discarding motions that are un unlikely due to physical constraints of said user, thereby accurately capturing the movements of the user; d) rendering, with the aid of a processor, a three-dimensional representation of said user using a set of motions most consistent with velocity vectors associated with said matching motion of c); e) incorporating said rendered three-dimensional representation of said user into the virtual environment; f) adjusting the virtual environment in response to (i) the three-dimensional representation of the user incorporated in e) and (ii) said motion information acquired in b), said adjusting comprising updating a scenery of the virtual environment; g) displaying, to said user, the virtual environment comprising said rendered three-dimensional representation of said user; and h) providing, in response to said adjusted virtual environment of f), feedback to the user using the at least one wearable patch, wherein the feedback is a stimulus that comprises at least one of: shocking the user, changing a temperature of the user, vibrating the user, and controlling movement of the user.
