Abstract: A controller for augmenting reality in a three-dimensional (3D) space includes a memory that stores instructions; and a processor that executes the instructions. The controller controls a display system configured to present virtual objects in the 3D space. When executed by the processor, the instructions cause the controller to perform a process. The process includes detecting a first action by a user relative to an object or a virtual object in the 3D space. The process also includes selectively enabling or disabling a virtual operation member based on detecting the first action between the user and the object or virtual object in the 3D space.

Abstract: A method and device for milking using a milking system with a control unit and an adjustable stimulator, including stimulating for a stimulus time and subsequently milking a dairy animal, measuring and evaluating the milk flow profile in order to determine if the milk flow profile is bimodal. If it is, then the control unit automatically adjusts the stimulating operation by extending the stimulating operation by an extension value. If it is not, then the control unit may, optionally automatically, shorten the stimulating operation. As a result, the milking system is able to reduce the strain on the teats caused by unnecessary stimulation or by milking in an efficient way during a bimodal part of the milking operation and also to adjust this during the entire lactation, if necessary. In this way, changes in the dairy animal itself are also compensated for.
