Patent ID: 8062129

Claim:
A physiological user interface comprising a software-generated multi-user virtual environment (“MUVE”), said MUVE being generated on non-transitory computer-readable media, wherein a user among a plurality of users interacts with said MUVE through an output of at least one biosensory device operatively connected to said user, said output contributing to a score of said user's interaction with said MUVE; wherein said at least one biosensory device communicates with an interactive device hosting physiological interface software, said interactive device comprising a local computing device operatively connected to at least one input device and at least one output device, said interactive device further interacting with one server hosting software generative of said MUVE; wherein said at least one input device controls actions of an avatar representative of said user in said MUVE, said actions of said avatar contributing to a first component of said score of said user's interaction with said MUVE; wherein said output of said at least one biosensory device operatively connected to said user comprises a signal encoding a measured value of at least one physiological function of said user, said measured value contributing to a second component of said score of said user's interaction with said MUVE; wherein there accrues to said avatar an assignable physiological performance record of said user represented by said avatar comprising at least one of: said measured values; and a performance profile of said user comprising at least one of: difference-from-normal values; difference-from-target values; and standardized values; and wherein said physiological interface software comprises a physiological comparator program; a multi-user physiological database; a benchmark physiological database; and a physiological data display window caused to be displayed on said at least one output device by said physiological interface software in accordance with a selectable display mode, said physiological data display window containing a first frame for said user's physiological performance, wherein there may be displayed said score of said user's interaction with said MUVE and a score of each other user interacting with said MUVE, said physiological data display window further containing a second frame for said user's physiological performance, wherein there may be displayed said physiological performance profile of said user and a physiological performance profile for each other user interacting with said MUVE.
