  • Publication number: 20240123339
    Abstract: An interactive game system for implementing an interactive game in a room. The interactive game system includes a motion sensing module, a control unit, a projection module, and a lighting module. The motion sensing module senses movement of a real-world element and surface interaction data representative of a contact between the real-world element and an interactive surface is generated therefrom. The control unit generates graphic instructions and lighting instructions based on the surface interaction data, in accordance with an implementation of a gameplay of the interactive game. The projection module receives the graphic instructions from the control unit and projects graphics on the interactive surface in accordance therewith. The lighting module receives the lighting instructions from the control unit and performs illumination of a section of the room distinct from the interactive surface in accordance therewith.

  • Patent number: 10984236
    Abstract: A system and an apparatus are provided, for gaze tracking within a defined operating range. The apparatus includes at least one optical system, which capable of capturing radiation in a wavelength range produced by a composite illumination source. The apparatus also includes at least one set of illumination sources creating the composite illumination source, wherein: at least one of the illumination sources is positioned relative to the optical system such that it ensures a user bright pupil response at the beginning of the apparatus operating range; and the composite illumination source size is such that it creates a Purkinje image on a user's eye capable of being distinguished by the optical system at the end of the apparatus operating range. The apparatus also includes an illumination controller for activating and deactivating the at least one composite illumination source, and a signal processing controller for transmitting generated images from the at least one optical system.

  • Publication number: 20140184550
    Abstract: A system and method are provided for enhancing inputs or interactions. The method comprises correlating gaze information for a subject to information corresponding to an environment; and providing an enhancement to an input or interaction between the subject and the environment. A system and method are also provided for enabling enhanced inputs or interactions with objects in an environment. The method comprises correlating gaze information for a subject to a registration input corresponding to an object in the environment; and registering a position of the object in the environment using the gaze information.
