A system and method for augmenting data and for integrating the augmented data into a program running on a computer system is provided. The invented system couples to a data collection computer along with data generating equipment, such as a body suit, for augmenting data generated thereby. Augmentation data generated by the system and body movement data generated by the suit is simultaneously transmitted to the computer containing a data base defining a virtual world. As the suit generates movement data and transmits the data to the computer for controlling the movements of an object in the virtual world, an operator of the system monitors the data generated by the equipment and activates the system to selectively augment data generated thereby, for enhancing the movements of the character. The invented system transmits the augmentation data to the data collection computer to augment the data generated by the equipment so that the character, has exaggerated movements or cartoonish features. Additionally, the system and method of the present invention augments the data generated by the data generating device without overwriting the data generated thereby, so that the exaggerated movements of the character can continuously track the movements indicated by the data generating equipment.
