摘要： A game controller cooling cover assembly is described having a flexible cover that has a non-slip gripping surface that provides protection to the controller and cooling to the user. The flexible cover comprises a flexible outer layer having numerous ventilation apertures. The flexible cover is spaced away from the controller with many offset ribs that create air channels between the controller and the flexible cover. A fan blows air through the air passages that are expelled through the ventilation apertures thereby cooling the user's bands. The cover has a split opening on the top side allowing the cover to be attached or taken off the controller. The split opening is held together with magnets for quick attachment and release. In an alternative embodiment, the battery pack is removable. This structure allows one battery pack to be charging while another is in use and allows for quick replacement of the battery.

摘要： A method for providing a single user multiple presence implementation may include providing access for a user identified by a user account to a virtual environment hosted by a computer. The method may further include generating multiple avatars for the user account to concurrently coexist and be operative within the virtual environment. The method may further include controlling the multiple avatars at least partly in response to input from the user. The method may further include communicating virtual environment data regarding more than one of the multiple avatars to at least one client operated by the user. An apparatus for performing the method may include a processor coupled to a memory holding encoded instructions for performing operations of the method on a computer configured as a network entity.
