Alignment sensor system and alignment sensor system method for a movement instrument

1. An alignment sensor system, the system comprising:

a display unit fixable to a head of a user, the display unit displaying an image sequence to the user, the image sequence comprising a first image and a second image;

a movement instrument for carrying out movements initiated by the user responsive to the first image by displacing a center of gravity or actuating muscles of the user;

an alignment element provided on the movement instrument;

a first mass-produced sensor, the first mass-produced sensor being fixed relative to the alignment element;

a first three-axis gyro sensor the mass-produced sensor comprising the first three-axis gyro sensor, the first three-axis gyro sensor for determining a first alignment information of the mass-produced sensor;

a second three-axis gyro sensor disposed in the display unit, the three-axis gyro sensor for determining a second alignment information corresponding to a second alignment of the display unit;

a computer for receiving and processing the first alignment information and the second alignment information;

wherein the display unit is connected to the computer by an interface,

wherein the computer establishes alignment data for the display unit

to calculate the image sequence for display on the display unit from the alignment data and the first alignment and

to transmit the image sequence to the display unit,

wherein the computer calculates the second image from the alignment data and the first alignment responsive to the movements initiated by the user responsive to the first image;

wherein the first mass-produced sensor is a handheld controller for a games console;

wherein the alignment element comprises a gripper element;

wherein the gripper element comprises the handheld controller or the gripper element is the handheld controller.

2. The alignment sensor system of claim 1 , wherein the first mass-produced sensor is a portable electronic device, the device comprising a data transmitter, the device being produced by a mass production method and being directed to an end-consumer as buyer.

3. The alignment sensor system of claim 1 ,

wherein the alignment element comprises a support device, the support device for supporting at least in part the user, and

wherein the first mass-produced sensor is fixed relative to the support device.

4. The alignment sensor system of claim 1 , wherein the display unit outputs three-dimensional images.

5. An alignment sensor system method for an alignment sensor system, the alignment sensor system method comprising

a movement instrument for carrying out movements initiated by a user by displacing a center of gravity or actuating muscles of the user;

an alignment element provided on the movement instrument;

a mass-produced sensor, the mass-produced sensor being fixed relative to the alignment element;

an image output device worn on a head of a user;

a first three-axis gyro sensor; the mass-produced sensor comprising the first three-axis gyro sensor, the first three-axis gyro sensor for determining a first alignment information of the mass-produced sensor;

a second three-axis gyro sensor disposed in the image output device, the three-axis gyro sensor for determining a second alignment information corresponding to a second alignment of the image output device;

a computer for receiving and processing the first alignment information and the second alignment information;

wherein the first mass-produced sensor is a handheld controller for a games console;

wherein the alignment element comprises a gripper element;

wherein the gripper element comprises the handheld controller or the gripper element is the handheld controller;

the method comprises the steps of:

displaying a first image by the image output device to the user, the user carrying out movements initiated by the user responsive to the first image;

establishing an alignment of the mass-produced sensor responsive to the movements initiated by the user responsive to the first image;

establishing an alignment of the image output device responsive to the movements initiated by the user responsive to the first image;

determining, by the computer, a second image for the image output device responsive to the alignment of the alignment element and the image output device; and

transmitting the second image to the image output device.

6. The alignment sensor system method of claim 5 ,

wherein the mass produced sensor is a portable electronic device with position or alignment sensors and data transmission capability, the mass produced sensor being produced by a mass production method and which is directed to an end-consumer as a buyer, and

wherein the image output device is a pair of video glasses.

7. The alignment sensor system method of claim 6 ;

detecting a position of the head and the video glasses worn thereon and the position of the alignment element are detected and further processed independently of one another.
