Devices, systems, and methods for games, sports, entertainment and other activities of engagement

摘要

Devices, systems, and methods according to one such aspect of the invention comprises (i) a sensing device that is attached (or otherwise coupled) to a skateboard and that measures a physical characteristic of it and/or of its environment, (ii) an audio output device, and (iii) a digital data processor that is communicatively coupled to the audio output device and the sensor. The digital data processor drives the audio output device to effect one or more selected sounds (e.g., to prompt the user to perform a selected action). The digital data processor, further, and monitors the sensing device to identify user actions in response to those sounds and drives the audio output device to effect still further sounds based on those actions.

主权项

1. A system for skateboarding, comprising
A. a skateboard, B. a sensing device that is attached or otherwise coupled to the skateboard and that measures a physical characteristic of it and/or of its environment, C. an audio output device, D. a digital data processor that is communicatively coupled to the audio output device and the sensor, wherein the digital data processor drives the audio output device to effect one or more selected sounds and, further, monitors the sensing device to identify operator actions in response to those sounds and drives the audio output device to effect still further sounds based on those actions, E. the digital data processor drives the audio output to effect a virtual sound space, and F. the digital data processor drives the audio output to effect the virtual sound space in which at least one of players, characters, obstacles, scenery, an actor representing the skateboard operator, his/her game status, and skateboard movements (or other interactions) with the foregoing are represented to the operator by sounds.
