  • Publication number: 20120320080
    Abstract: A system and method providing a human controlled user interface for navigating around a virtual object when a user is in a confined physical space. A virtual object comprising a representation of an exterior of a real world object is presented on a display. A set of interactive elements may be added to the physical object, the interactive elements providing additional information regarding the physical object when engaged by the user. User movements are tracked within the confined space adjacent to the display. The virtual perspective of the user is then altered about the physical object coincident with the user movement in the confined space. When a user selects an interactive element, additional information associated with the virtual object is provided. The information can include at least a different visual perspective of a second portion of the virtual object.

  • Publication number: 20120100910
    Abstract: A system and method for producing video replay output of a gameplay sequence are disclosed. The gameplay sequence occurs during execution of a video game, and is recorded during gameplay to yield a recording that is of relatively lower quality relative to an ultimate output. A tag may be associated with an event occurring during the gameplay sequence. Using the tag, the method further includes receiving a user selection of the gameplay sequence. The method further includes, subsequent to gameplay, producing a viewable representation of relatively higher quality of the gameplay sequence via processing of the relatively lower quality recording, and may further include outputting the viewable representation as a standard-format video file.
