  • Patent number: 11019948
    Abstract: A drinking dramatization glass (1) includes: a glass body (10) being a bottomed cylinder with a top opening (11); a fixing mechanism (16) for fixing an image display device (80) on the side face of the glass body; a transparent part (12) for viewing, from the exterior of the glass body, an image (81) displayed on an image display part (85) of the image display device; and a reflective mirror (30) placed inside the glass body; wherein the image displayed on the image display part is reflected on the reflective mirror, passes through the transparent part, and reaches the exterior of the glass body. Unlike the conventional drinking dramatization glasses, there is no need to provide a storage part or waveguide part. The drinking dramatization glass can let an individual enjoy oneself alone or together with others in remote locations, while also presenting many different dramatizing effects.

  • Patent number: 11003286
    Abstract: A touch panel system 1 includes: a touch panel body part V having a touch face 11 through which electromagnetic waves in the visible-light or near-infrared wavelength range transmit, and a counterface-side face 12 through which such electromagnetic waves transmit, wherein a space is provided between the touch face and the counterface-side face; a magnetic fluid 20 including a fluid blocking/absorbing such electromagnetic waves, and magnetic substance; a camera 50; an image analysis part 100; and a magnetic field control mechanism 24 for controlling the magnetic fluid by applying a magnetic field thereto. The camera captures, when an external force is applied to the touch face, the change in such electromagnetic waves resulting from the touch face and the counterface-side face coming closer in distance and the magnetic fluid moving from this distance-reduced location.
