A human-machine interface system comprises a sensor configured to generate data associated with a human movement, such as measured electrical signals or data from an accelerometer. A measurement unit of the human-machine interface measures user movement over time to generate a sequence of measured user movement data. A processor processes the data associated with a human movement from the sensor using a trained neural network to determine one or more predicted user actions. A comparison unit compares the one or more predicted user actions with one or more user actions obtained from the sequence of measured user movement data. A control unit uses the predicted user actions to control a process in an information processing apparatus in dependence upon the comparison performed by the comparison unit.

The present disclosure describes a method, device, and storage medium for controlling a virtual object. The method includes obtaining, by a device, a first virtual feature and a second virtual feature, a virtual object in a virtual scene comprising the first virtual feature and the second virtual feature. The device includes a memory storing instructions and a processor in communication with the memory. The method further includes obtaining, by the device, a first physical force matching the first virtual feature and a second physical force matching the second virtual feature; and controlling, by the device according to the first physical force, the first virtual feature to perform a first action, and controlling, according to the second physical force, the second virtual feature to perform a second action.

A system and method for analyzing and improving the performance of a body motion of an animal or human subject requires instrumenting a subject with inertial sensors, monitoring a body motion of interest, converting sensor data into motion data and animation, comparing the motion data with existing data for motion related performance parameters, providing a real-time, information rich, animation and data display of the results in color coded displays; and based on the results prescribing a training regime with exercises selected from a library of standardized exercises using standardized tools and training aids.

A radio mesh network gaming system comprises a gaming device that includes a controller. The controller maintains a routing table and game state information. The gaming device forms a radio mesh network along with other gaming devices. The routing table stores next hop information for communicating with other devices over the radio mesh network. The radio mesh network determines a playing area of a game and the playing area changes as gaming devices move throughout the playing area and are added or removed from the game. In one example communication between from a first and third device, the first device communicates the information to a second device in accordance with next hop information stored in the routing table of the first device. The second device then communicates the information to the third device in accordance with next hop information stored in a routing table of the second gaming device.
