Abstract: A human interface including steps of presenting an image, then receiving a gesture from the user. The image is analyzed to identify the elements of the image and then compared to known images and then either soliciting an input from the user or displaying a menu to the user. Comparing the image and/or graphical image elements may be effectuated using a trained artificial intelligence engine or, in some embodiments, with a structured data source, said data source including predetermined images and menu options. If the input from the user is known, then presenting a predetermined menu. If the image is not known, then presenting an image or other menu options, and soliciting from the user the desired options. Once the user selections an option, the resulting selection may be used to further train the AI system or added to the structured data source for future reference.

Abstract: Described herein are “Ultrahapticons,” which are a set of tangible and recognizable mid-air haptic icons that have been derived from research study participants' metaphorical associations with car infotainment features. In line with semiotic theory (the study of signs), data from the study was analyzed to identify key characteristics that when realized in mid-air haptic form, would enable a user to “feel” the feature they are interacting with. Their use is not limited to an automotive context, they can be instrumented to any application that exhibits the same feature functionality i.e. home entertainment system, laptop UI's, digital communication, Extended Reality (XR), and the like.
