Abstract: An invention is provided for digital image selection and previewing in a digital camera environment. Image selection parameters are obtained, where the image selection parameters define specific properties of a digital image. A plurality of digital images is filtered based on the image selection parameters to generate a subset of the plurality of digital images. The subset includes digital images having the specific properties defined by the image selection parameters. Optionally, the digital images included in the subset can be prioritized and/or categorized based on the selection parameters. In addition, in one aspect, image view commands can be received and a plurality of views of a particular digital image generated based on the image view commands. These views can then be displayed to a user.

Abstract: Systems and methods for providing feedback to a user are described. One of the methods includes sending interactive data for rendering on a head mounted display (HMD). The HMD is configured for attachment to a head of a user for playing a game. The method further includes receiving image data associated with a body part of the user while the HMD is worn by the user and the HMD renders interactive content. The method includes tracking a spatial position associated with the body part of the user from the image data of the user. In the method, physical placement of a remote-controlled device at the spatial position associated with the body part of the user is rendered in the HMD as virtual contact with an object in the interactive content.
