Abstract: A position determination module is described which receives image information from a video camera. The position determination module identifies at least one reference field in the image information to provide identified reference information. The position determination module then generates position information based on the identified reference information. The position information is associated with a position of the reference field with respect the video camera. In one implementation, the video camera is stationary and the reference field is coupled to a user-manipulated device. In another implementation, the reference field is coupled to a stationary display device and the video camera is coupled to a movable user-manipulated device.

Abstract: In an exemplary embodiment, an on-board camera is used as a controller for a hand-held game device. Control information is provided to a game application via video captured by the camera. As the hand-held device is moved, features of the captured video are tracked. The relative motion between the tracked features and the hand-held device is translated into control information for the game application. Aspects of the game application are rendered on a display of the hand-held game device in accordance with the control information. For example, from a third person perspective, viewing a game character from overhead, rotation of the hand-held game device can be translated into rotation of the character. From a first person perspective, seeing the game through the eyes of the game character, rotation of the hand-held game device can be translated into observing various challenges coming from different directions.
