Abstract

A system and method is described for providing a virtual game or amusement so that a player's motion may be detected and interpreted to cause an interaction with the amusement or game. The player's motion may be detected by using a camera and software may be used to analyze and interpret the motion to interact with a theme or amusement to permit various controls by a player on the virtual game or amusement.
