User interface approaches to providing help to players by playing back previously recorded inputs. Certain exemplary embodiments involve displaying, with the recorded playback, an input device icon to show where the inputs are occurring and/or where the inputs should occur if the player were to make them. Modifications are made to the previously recorded input to improve the user's ability to see what is happening, as well as making the playback seem more consistent, mechanical, and automatic. The help makes the computer application seem like the user interface is operating itself in a way that is easy to follow, rather than giving the impression that a previously recorded user input stream simply is being played back in accordance with the more organic and potentially idiosyncratic behaviors of the recorded person. The modifications may in certain exemplary embodiments include, for example, path smoothing/correction, automatic snapping, delay periods, speed normalization, etc.

Authority over an artificial intelligence (AI) asset can be controlled among two or more processing devices running a common program over a network using a technique in which authority can be transferred. A first processing device can exercise authority over the AI asset by executing code that controls one or more actions of the AI asset according to a decision tree. The decision tree can determine whether to engage the program asset based on criteria other than a distance between the AI asset and the program asset. The first processing device can broadcast a state of the AI asset to one or more other devices running the program. If the decision tree determines that the AI asset should engage a program asset over which another processing device has authority the first processing device can relinquish authority over the AI asset and transfer authority to the other device.

The game allows a letters from the letter grid to be selected and automatically placed onto the answer grid. Points are awarded if the letter selected is the next available blank in the answer grid. As the player selects a letter from the letter grid, that letter disappears and a portion of an image appears. As additional letters are removed from the letter grid, additional portions of the image are displayed, which provides another clue for the solution to the puzzle.

A real-time stereo video signal of a captured scene with a physical foreground object and a physical background is received. In real-time, a foreground/background separation algorithm is used on the real-time stereo video signal to identify pixels from the stereo video signal that represent the physical foreground object. A video sequence may be produced by rendering a 3D virtual reality based on the identified pixels of the physical foreground object.

If a stereoscopic display mode is selected, the angle of view of each of a pair of perspective-projection virtual cameras and a distance between the perspective-projection virtual cameras are determined based on an output signal from a 3D adjustment switch. Based on these perspective-projection virtual cameras, an image for right eye and an image for left eye are rendered, and a stereoscopically visible image is generated based on these images. If a planar display mode is selected, a single orthogonal-projection virtual camera is used to generate a planarly visible image.
