  • Publication number: 20240087203
    Abstract: System and method for displaying reaction animations that represent audience reactions to content. A reaction measurement module receives video data featuring at least one audience user from at least one video capture device. The reaction measurement module processes the video data to determine reaction data based on characteristics of the audience user's head. The reaction data is passed to a server and an animation-generation module generates animation data based on the reaction data. The animation data is passed to a user device for display. In some embodiments, the reaction animation(s) are displayed with the content in real or near real time. In other embodiments, the reaction animations are recorded for later viewing. In some embodiments, the animation(s) each represent multiple audience users.

  • Publication number: 20230251712
    Abstract: In example embodiments, a method includes obtaining a first measurement of at least a first physiological parameter of a user from a time before presentation of an information item to the user. The information item may be, for example, a notification, an advertisement, or an emergency alert, among other possibilities. A second measurement of the first physiological parameter is obtained from a time after a beginning of the presentation of the information item to the user (e.g. during the presentation). Based at least on a comparison between the first and second measurements, a determination is made of whether the user has perceived the information item. The determination may also be based on a corruption coefficient indicating an amount by which an activity of the user is likely to interfere with the first physiological parameter.

  • Publication number: 20230168738
    Abstract: Methods and systems for controlling a haptic display are provided. Data associated with first and second data types is obtained, the data defining values for the first and second data types. The first and second data types are associated to first and second vibration features of the haptic display, respectively, the second vibration feature different from the first vibration feature. A vibration pattern comprising a plurality of vibration pulses representing the first and second vibration features within a common time interval is produced on the haptic display, wherein the first vibration feature is expressed based on the values of the data for the first data type and the second vibration feature is expressed based on the values of the data for the second data type.

  • Patent number: 9041521
    Abstract: The present relates to a system for providing vibration feedback to at least one foot. The system comprises at least one rigid surface for receiving the at least one foot, one vibrotactile actuator for each of the at least one rigid surface, and a suspension mechanism. The vibrotactile actuator is installed underneath the corresponding rigid surface and provides vibration feedback there through. The suspension mechanism supports the at least one rigid surface.

  • Patent number: 8066372
    Abstract: This invention is a game platform for the assessment and/or treatment of disorders of binocular vision, such as amblyopia. The game content is devised to maximize the possible therapeutic effects by leveraging advanced research in ophthalmology, as well as advanced display technology to render images independently to each eye. In particular, the game content engages both eyes at different levels of difficulty, forcing an amblyopic eye to work harder to regain its performance in the visual system. The invention herein described provides a mobile device, capable of interaction with an eye care specialist, for the assessment/treatment of binocular vision using innovative mechanisms for ensuring proper use thereof.

  • Publication number: 20100283969
    Abstract: This invention is a game platform for the assessment and/or treatment of disorders of binocular vision, such as amblyopia. The game content is devised to maximize the possible therapeutic effects by leveraging advanced research in opthalmology, as well as advanced display technology to render images independently to each eye. In particular, the game content engages both eyes at different levels of difficulty, forcing an amblyopic eye to work harder to regain its performance in the visual system. The invention herein described provides a mobile device, capable of interaction with an eye care specialist, for the assessment/treatment of binocular vision using innovative mechanisms for ensuring proper use thereof.
