Apparatuses for motion capture are disclosed that includes a surface configured to support an object; and at least one sensor arranged with the surface, wherein the at least one sensor is configured to obtain at least one of ranging or inertial information for use in estimating a motion of the surface with respect to the object. A method for motion capture is also disclosed that includes providing a surface configured to support an object; and obtaining at least one of ranging or inertial information for use in estimating a motion of the surface with respect to the object via at least one sensor.

Method and apparatus of proximity and stunt recording for outdoor gaming

Systems, methods, and devices enable group associations based on network determined location information. The various embodiments enable the ad-hoc creation of mobile device groups based on network determined locations. In an embodiment, a server may determine the location of a mobile device and based on the mobile device being located in a pairing zone may add the mobile device to a group. In an embodiment, the server may add the mobile device to the group following the occurrence of a trigger event, such as the mobile device pausing in a given pairing zone for a period of time. In an embodiment, the server may identify that mobile devices are located within a pairing zone and may add all the mobile devices in the pairing zone to the same group.

Group association based on network determined location

Apparatuses for remote operation of a first object by a second object is disclosed that one or more sensors configured to be placed on the second object and to obtain ranging information; and a processing system configured to determine one or more movements of the second object from the ranging information; and generate one or more control signals related to the one or more movements for manipulating the first object.

Gesture recognition via an ad-hoc proximity sensor mesh for remotely controlling objects

Apparatuses for wireless communication is disclosed that includes a receiver configured to receive ranging information from at least one of one or more sensors arranged with an object and one or more sensors remote from the object; and a processing system configured to track the object with respect to the one or more sensors remote from the object based on the ranging information. A method for wireless communication is disclosed that includes receiving ranging information from at least one of one or more sensors arranged with an object and one or more sensors remote from the object; and tracking the object with respect to the one or more sensors remote from the object based on the ranging information.

Method and apparatus for using proximity sensing for augmented reality gaming

Apparatuses for remote control by a remote object is disclosed that includes one or more sensors configured to communicate with the remote object to obtain ranging information of the apparatus relative to the remote object; and a processing system configured to provide local control of the apparatus based on the ranging information.

Method and apparatus for remote controlled object gaming with proximity-based augmented reality enhancement

Methods and systems enable mobile TV providers to select programs for broadcast based on viewer preference indications or votes. Information regarding candidate programs or content may be broadcast and displayed on mobile devices. A voting user interface may receive viewer preferences or votes and transmit vote information to the mobile TV broadcast network using a unicast network. Received voting information may be tallied to select a program or content for broadcast. Interim vote tallies may be broadcast to mobile devices until a voting session is terminated. Results of the voting session may be broadcasted followed by broadcast of the selected program.
