Patent ID: 7953246

Claim:
A system for controlling objects in a virtual interactive environment, the system comprising: a processing unit, receiving a motion signal from at least one motion sensing device, configured to access a set of prototypes included in a motion recognizer to generate corresponding recognition signals from the motion signal in response to the motion recognizer without considering one or more of the prototypes completely in the motion recognizer, wherein the at least one motion sensing device sends the motion signal responsive to motions made by a user, the recognition signals are continuously generated while the user is making the motions with the motion sensing device; and wherein the processing unit causes a display to show the virtual interactive environment, movements of at least one of objects in the virtual interactive environment are responsive to the recognition signals such that feedback from the motions to control the one of the objects is immediate, no matter how much of the motion signal has been received, wherein the feedback is responsive to a measure of progress that has been made through at least one of a current best guess from the motions, and a measure of confidence provided with the current best guess.
