A sensing baseball game apparatus () has a game machine () connected to a television monitor (). A bat input device () is provided with an acceleration sensor. An acceleration signal is transmitted by an infrared-ray LED () to an infrared-ray receiving part of the game machine () whereby the game machine () determines a moving speed of the bat input device () to calculate a moving parameter of a ball to be batted. Accordingly, a batted ball is moved in the game scene according to the parameter.

Sensing ball game machine

A plurality of nodes-are assigned to a plurality of operators. The each node-detects input operation of the corresponding operator to transmit detection information in a wireless manner. A hostreceives the detection information transmitted in the wireless manner by the each node-. The hosttransmits a beacon signal BS to the plurality of the nodes-in a predetermined cycle CY. The each node-performs processing of detecting the input operation while changing time, i.e., at times STto STto transmit the detection information to the hostin response to the beacon signal BS. It is possible to finely detect order of changes of the detection information among the plurality of the nodes.

A mat unitis provided with four foot switches SWto SWeach of which detects stepping motion as input from a player. A processordisplays a player characterwhich travels in virtual space on a television monitoron the basis of a result of detection by the mat unit, and furthermore arranges tasksL,C andL in the virtual space. The player chooses one which is different from the other two from among the tasksL,C andL. The processorperforms correctness/incorrectness determination on the basis of the result of the detection by the mat unit

Foot input type brain training device and computer program

Each time stepping motion of a player by a stepperis detected, one firework objectappears on a television monitorand then disappears. Each a predetermined number of times of the stepping motion of the player is detected, a more spectacular firework object than that of one step is displayed. If the player performs the stepping motion by frequency as a quota shown in a quota display section, this screen is finished.

Exercise assisting method, exercise appliance, and information processor

A stroboscope is utilized as an input device of a golf game system (), for example. The golf game system includes a game machine () as an information processing apparatus and a golf-club-shaped input device (), and within a housing of the game machine, an imaging unit () is housed, and the imaging unit is provided with an image sensor () and an infrared-LED. By utilizing the infrared-LED, an infrared ray is intermittently emitted to a predetermined range of an upper portion of the imaging unit. Accordingly, the image sensor intermittently images a reflective body provided in the golf-club-shaped input device moving within the range. Such the stroboscope image processing of the reflective body enables calculation of a velocity, and so on as an input of the game machine.

An imaging unit captures images of the retroreflective sheets worn on both legs. A multimedia processor detects step and jump of a player on the basis of the pictures obtained by the image capturing to reflect to a video image and thereby the interactive system is constituted. It is possible to support a user so as to continuously perform a stepping exercise while reducing an economical burden of the user and realizing the space saving.

A card game apparatusincludes an image sensor. The image sensor photographs a design (: FIG.) printed on a card. A photographic signal from the image sensor is sampled by a game processor, and is further re-sampled to form a photographic pixel data array. A ROMis provided with a database (A: FIG.) which is assigned a comparison data array and a card ID for each entry. By searching the database based on the photographic pixel data array, the processorobtains one card ID and displays card data of the card identified by the card ID on a television monitor.

Apparatus systems, and the methods for stimulating movement of a ball in response to a signal generated in an input device moved by a game player

The image sensorof the information processing apparatuscan capture the retroreflective sheetsubjected to infrared light emitted from the infrared emitting diodessince the retroreflective sheetis exposed when the open-close portionis opened. Therefore, it is possible to detect the input device. On the other hand, when the open-close portionis closed, the image sensorcan not capture the retroreflective sheetsince the reflective sheetis not exposed. Therefore, the input device is not detected.

Indication objects are displayed on a television monitor at the intervals in agreement with the rhythm of music, such that the player can generate musical tones in synchronization with music by striking the strike surface of a music game console in the appropriate timing as indicated by indication objects. In this case, the tone quality of the strike sound changes in the progress of music on the basis of strike sound indicating information.
