Apparatus and a method for more realistic interactive video games on computers or similar devices using visible or invisible light and an input computing device

摘要

An apparatus is disclosed comprising an input computing device, a game computing device, a screen device, and a first marking device comprised of a lighting device. The lighting device is comprised of one or more light sources that emit light visible to video cameras but not necessarily visible to human eyes. The input computing device uses the light emitted from the one or more light sources to determine a pose of an object attached to the first marking device and passes the pose information to the game computing device. The game computing device uses the pose of the object to determine and control the pose and the action of a virtual object in the game computing device or on the screen device.
