ABSTRACT:
An interactive gaming device capable of perceiving user movement includes a controller connected to a display for providing user interaction with a game being played on the gaming device. A light emitter and a light detector input may include multiple light emitters and a single light detector for detecting light, with light detectors positioned in proximity to light emitters for detecting light. In each form, the controller polls the light detectors to see if user or game piece presence about that light emitter has caused the light emitted from the game piece to reflect to the polled light detector. If light has been reflected to the light detector, the controller is notified to determine where the user is and where the user has moved.
