Video game system having novel input devices

摘要

A video game system includes an input device, where the input device has at least one physiological sensing device for determining at least one physiological state of a user. The input device further has at least one motion sensing device for determining the motion and/or position of the input device and/or the user. The video game system further comprises a processor for using the physiological state and the motion and/or position of the input device and/or user to control game play.

1. A video game system, comprising:
an input device comprising at least one physiological sensing device, the physiological sensing device configured to generate information of a physiological state of a user; and a video game console with a processor, said processor being configured to: receive data from the input device indicating the physiological state of a user; process said physiological state data; and provide game play for a shooting game, based on inputs from the input device, consistent with said physiological state data, including disallowing entry into a particular mode of game play of the shooting game if the physiological state of the user exceeds a predetermined threshold, wherein disallowing entry into the particular mode of game play of the shooting game is based on a character controlled by the user performing actions which generally cannot be performed by an individual in the physiological state of the user and allowing entry into the particular mode of game play of the shooting game if the physiological state of the user remains within the predetermined threshold; wherein the particular mode of game play of the shooting game is a sniper mode of game play.
