Patent number: 9712914Abstract: The disclosure describes a costume coordinated, motion activated sound generation system, including apparatuses and methods, for generating pre-defined audio in connection with a costume worn by a user and the type, extent, and rate of movements by the user. According to an example embodiment, the system comprises an electronic controller having a memory for storing pre-defined audio data associated with the type, forcefulness, and rate of a user's movements and having an audio interface and speaker for generating audio from such audio data. The system also comprises one or more accelerometers or sensors for enabling detection of the type, extent, and/or rate of user movements. Based in part on the type, forcefulness, and rate of such movements, the system retrieves audio data corresponding thereto from memory and causes playback thereof, creating the illusion that the character, person, or thing being played by the user while in costume produced the sounds.Type: GrantFiled: August 26, 2013Date of Patent: July 18, 2017Assignee: Geeknet, Inc.Inventors: Hilary Hoops, Tyson Liotta
