Abstract: Methods for a mobile device with a front facing camera to use the detected position of the user's face as a game controller as well as a method of displaying the live streaming face within the video with audio within a virtual environment. Using a reference frame which serves as the origin, the subsequent frames of the live streaming video are used to calculate the change in position of the face detected within the video frame, and calculations of position, rotation, speed and distance are used to position a game object. Additionally this is a method for having a live video stream with live audio textured onto 2D/3D objects within a virtual environment with only the perspective cropped face displayed. This provides the appearance of the face as stable and unmoving even when the device's camera and/or user's face are moving relative to each other.

Abstract: Methods and computer programs that allows users to move game objects in a virtual space with movements performed on current and future portable devices. By using existing technologies in such devices, the methods computer movement relative to the devices themselves in order to detect swinging motions, panning motions, moving motions and gesture and then to apply them to game objects and game cameras inside the virtual space. Moving the physical device causes the devices sensors to respond. The methods interpret this data and provide real time updates within a virtual space on the device as well as transmit the updates to another device that is also moving. This enables 2 players to connect to each other and each player is able to move their device and see it reflected within the others virtual space. This eliminates the need of real world references.
