NATURAL BODY INTERACTION FOR MIXED OR VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATIONS
A system for natural body interaction for mixed or virtual reality applications, comprising a composition server configured to receive input data from a plurality of hardware devices via a network, and configured to operate a virtual control stick, and configured to produce a plurality of operations of the virtual control stick based at least in part on at least a portion of the received input data, and configured to produce a composite data stream based at least in part on at least a portion of the received input data and the virtual control stick operations.
1 . A system for natural body interaction for mixed or virtual reality applications, comprising:
a composition server comprising at least a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory and operating on a processor of a network-connected computing device and configured to receive input data from a plurality of hardware devices via a network, and configured to operate a virtual control stick, and configured to produce a plurality of operations of the virtual control stick based at least in part on at least a portion of the received input data, and configured to produce a composite data stream based at least in part on at least a portion of the received input data and the virtual control stick operations.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further wherein the input data comprises at least a plurality of motion tracking data.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the motion tracking data corresponds to movement of at least a human user's torso.
4 . The system of claim 3 , wherein the operations of the virtual control stick are based at least in part on the movement of the human user's torso.
5 . A method for natural body interaction for mixed or virtual reality applications, comprising the steps of:
receiving, at a composition server comprising at least a plurality of programming instructions stored in a memory and operating on a processor of a network-connected computing device and configured to receive input data from a plurality of hardware devices via a network, and configured to operate a virtual control stick, and configured to produce a plurality of operations of the virtual control stick based at least in part on at least a portion of the received input data, and configured to produce a composite data stream based at least in part on at least a portion of the received input data and the virtual control stick operations, a plurality of device inputs;
creating a virtual control stick software device; and
directing the operation of the virtual control stick based at least in part on at least a portion of the device inputs.
6 . The method of claim 5 , further comprising the step of comparing at least a portion of the device inputs against known configuration data.
7 . The method of claim 6 , further comprising the step of producing a composite data stream based at least in part on the comparison results.
