Apparatus for controlling movement of virtual player and virtual ball in game application

摘要

The present invention relates to the domain of control devices for virtual games, and more specifically to a control device to control the displacement of a virtual player and of a virtual ball in the scope of a football video game. According to the invention, the control device is in the form of a ball connected to a pedestal. This ball is equipped with accelerometers (18) able to detect a displacement force on the ball as a result of a strike exerted on said ball, pressure sensors (19) able to detect a pressure force exerted on the surface of the ball and a processing module (16). The processor module generates using information from the accelerometers and pressure sensors control signals (S1) to control the displacement of the virtual ball in the video game and control signals (S2) to control the displacement of the virtual player in the video game.
