Filed:

Dec 29, 2008

Appl. No.:

12/345648

Inventors:

James R. J. York - Austin TX, US
Timothy V. Fields - Austin TX, US
Erin D. Roberts - Austin TX, US

Assignee:

Microsoft Corporation - Redmond WA

International Classification:

G07F 17/32

US Classification:

463 42, 463 43, 463 44

Abstract:

In a third-person shooter video game, the viewing perspective is smoothly transitioned between an “explorer” viewpoint and a “ready” viewpoint as game conditions change. In the “explorer” viewpoint, scenes are depicted from a camera positioned behind and removed from a character. The explorer viewpoint offers a wide angle of view of the surrounding combat area, enabling the game player to scout the terrain. In the “ready” viewpoint, scenes are depicted from the camera as it is repositioned close to the character. The ready viewpoint provides a narrower angle of view to facilitate better aiming when the character is engaged in armed combat. The transition between the explorer and ready viewpoints tracks a non-linear path.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a sample analysis device for increasing measurement resolution of forces generated by a sample and method of use thereof. The sample analysis device comprises a body stretchable along a central longitudinal axis. The body includes at least one attachment region engageable with a sample and a plurality of stretchable portions spaced apart by joining regions. The body also includes at least one detectable datum for determining displacement. Each stretchable portion extends generally longitudinally and includes an offset region inclined to the longitudinal axis. The stretchable portions increase the compliance of the body within a predetermined measurement range.
