Abstract
A method of providing a sensor-based gaming system for an avatar to represent a player in a virtual environment includes wirelessly receiving a set of measurements describing attributes of the player. The method includes generating a player profile associated with the player and including an avatar depicting a virtual embodiment of the player in a virtual world. The method includes receiving sensor data from sensors. The sensor data describes a change in a real world position of the player. The method includes determining an estimate of a player movement. The method includes determining a difference between a screen position of the avatar in the virtual world and the real world position of the player in the real world. The method includes generating avatar image data representative of movement of the avatar corresponding to movement of the player.
