Abstract: A method and apparatus for governing sensor data readings from a plurality of input sensors onboard a communications device. An inventory of available input sensors is generated, and a set of requested input sensors from an application running on the communications device is received. The requested input sensors that are absent from the inventory of available input sensors is identified, and based upon received measured values from the available input sensors, equivalent values for those absent input sensors are derived. The accuracy and precision of the measured and equivalent sensor values are estimated, and those measurements not meeting certain thresholds are filtered. The measured values and the derived equivalent values meeting the predetermined thresholds for accuracy and precision, and the filtered measured values and the filtered derived equivalent values are output to the application.

Abstract: An apparatus for generating a graphical representation of a motion input applied to one or more sensors includes a touch input display screen and a motion input capture module receptive to data corresponding to the motion input applied to and detected by the one or more sensors. A graphical user interface is generated on the touch input display screen with a view of a virtual three-dimensional space displayed thereon, and has a virtual space viewing mode and a brush stroke input mode. In the virtual space viewing mode, the view of the virtual three-dimensional space is adjustable in response to motion input. In the brush stroke input mode, a stroke path defined by a plurality of position points within the virtual three-dimensional space and derived from data corresponding to the motion input is generated.

Abstract: The presentation of interaction sequences to a user on a mobile communications device is disclosed. A first external input corresponding to a triggering of an interaction sequence delivery is received on a first input modality. An overlay is displayed in a graphical user interface in response to receiving the external input. Interaction sequence invocation instructions are displayed within the overlay. A second external input is received on a second input modality different from the first input modality. The second external input is translated to a set of quantified values. An interaction sequence results content is then displayed within the overlay in response to a substantial match between the set of quantified values translated from the received second external input to the set of predefined values corresponding to the interaction sequence invocation instructions.

Abstract: A method for producing a gesture-controlled augmented reality experience using a first mobile communications device includes receiving a motion sensor input on a motion sensor input modality of the first mobile communications device, calculating a trajectory of a camera of the first mobile communications device in response to the received motion sensor input, receiving a visual input captured by the camera of the first mobile communications device, translating a gesture of a user into a set of quantified values based on the received visual input and the calculated trajectory of the camera, and controlling an augmented reality object within a three-dimensional virtual environment in response to a substantial match between the set of quantified values and a set of predefined values.
