  • System and method for facilitating interaction with a virtual space via a touch sensitive surface
    Patent number: 9700787
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to a system and method for facilitating interaction with a virtual space via a touch sensitive surface. The user may interact with the virtual space via a touch sensitive surface in a wireless client device. The user may interact with the virtual space by providing control inputs to the touch sensitive surface. The control inputs may be reflected in one or more views of the virtual space. In some implementations, the system may be configured such that the one or more views of the virtual space include one or more views of a shooter game. The system may be configured such that the user may interact with the game primarily with fingers from one hand via the touch sensitive surface. The user may enter various command inputs into the touch sensitive surface that correspond to actions in the virtual space presented to the user.
