Abstract
Systems and methods for providing a tutorial for a video game are provided. The tutorial is characterized by a hierarchical data structure having a plurality of nodes connected by edges. Each node represents a video game stage and provides oral instructions on how to progress to another node. An edge represents head movements necessary to move to another node. At a computing device a current node is identified and the oral instructions associated with the node are provided. User head movements are sensed by a movement measuring component of the computing device and the current node and sensed user head movements are compared to edges associated with the current node. When a match is found, advancement to the node identified by the matching edge occurs. However, advancement is forgone when the user head movements do not match the head movements of any of the edges associated with the current node.
