  • Sphere-like input device
    Patent number: 10031593
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention provide a human interface device including an inner sphere, wherein the inner sphere has a center point. The human interface device can further include an outer sphere, and the outer sphere may be compressible. The human interface device may also include a plurality of pressure sensors between the inner sphere and the outer sphere for detecting localized compression of the outer sphere, a first three-axis-accelerometer located within the inner sphere, and a second three-axis-accelerometer located within the inner sphere, wherein the first three-axis-accelerometer and the second three-axis-accelerometer-accelerometer are each located at least a predetermined distance from the center point.
    Type: Grant

  • Multidirectional display system
    Patent number: 9516301
    Abstract: An optical display system includes a projection system for outputting images having an image refresh frequency and a two-dimensional screen for receiving the images. The screen is coupled to a motion unit which allows a motion of the screen at a frequency which is equal to the refresh frequency of the images.
