Abstract

A method of controlling or augmenting a virtual environment or a live video broadcast according includes receiving a data stream that is indicative of a monitored spatial motion of an article of footwear or apparel worn by a subject. The data stream is generated at least in part by an accelerometer or inertial measurement unit provided on the article of footwear or apparel. The method further includes identifying at least one motion primitive from the received data stream, augmenting the virtual reality (VR) environment or the live video broadcast with a visual effect in response to the identified motion primitive, and transmitting a view of the VR environment or the live video broadcast to a user for display on a display device.
