Patent number: 10261581Abstract: A head-mounted display (HMD) may comprise: a sensor unit configured to measure the movement of a user wearing the HMD; a display unit configured to display an image; and a control unit configured to calculate the user's sightline direction from a measurement value from the sensor unit and, when the user's sightline direction satisfies a preset condition, control elements of the image other than the viewpoint using the user's sightline as a input signal. When the user's sightline direction satisfies the preset condition, the HMD controls the image, which is displayed on the HMD, using the user's sightline as an input signal, thereby performing event processing and the like without any separate controller.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 2015Date of Patent: April 16, 2019Assignee: FXGEAR INC.Inventors: Sung Wu Kim, Kwang Jin Choi

Patent number: 7512528Abstract: A method of simulating the movement of cloth and a computer-readable medium storing a program which executes the method of simulating the movement of cloth, wherein cloth deformation by compressive force is simulated by an immediate buckling model when the compressive force is applied to two extremities of a deformation unit which models the cloth, cloth deformation by stretching is simulated by a spring model, and hysteresis phenomenon of cloth is simulated by using spring-slips for modeling. The immediate buckling model is based on a model of the present invention in which a deformation unit is not contracted by compressive force and generates an immediate bending deformation.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2007Date of Patent: March 31, 2009Assignee: FXGear Inc.Inventors: Hyeong-Seok Ko, Kwang-Jin Choi
