Patent US8933884 - Tracking groups of users in motion capture system - Google Patents
In a motion capture system, a unitary input is provided to an application based on detected movement and/or location of a group of people. Audio information from the group can also be used as an input. The application can provide real-time feedback to the person or group via a display and audio output....http://www.google.ca/patents/US8933884?utm_source=gb-gplus-sharePatent US8933884 - Tracking groups of users in motion capture system
