Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for interfacing a control device with a computer program executing at a base computing device are presented. The method generates a visual cue at a spherical section of the control device and captures an image of the visual cue using an image capture device connected to the base computing device. Further, the method determines whether the visual cue is user feedback or input for the computer program, and processes the visual cue at the base computing device when the visual cue is an input. Additionally, a state of an object being processed is updated by the computer program in response to the input to drive interactivity with the computer program via the control device.
