Abstract: A vibration generation device 112 is provided in a head-mounted display, and as a result of processing by a content processing unit 72, a vibration controlling unit 80 causes the vibration generation device 112 to vibrate so as to correspond to display contents. A drawing unit 86 of a display image generation unit 74 acquires a measurement value of a motion sensor 64 from a measurement value acquisition unit 82 and draws an image in a field of view corresponding to the position and the posture of the user head. During a period during which the vibration generation device 112 vibrates, a vibration correction unit 88 corrects the measurement value in response to the vibration.

Abstract: A frame storage section stores captured images of a predetermined number of frames depicting a region including the skin of a user. A pixel value acquisition section divides the captured images into a plurality of blocks and acquires the pixel values in each block. A pixel exclusion section narrows down target pixels in each block by excluding pixels that have a green value equal to or smaller than a predetermined threshold in a case where pixel colors of each block are represented by RGB. A brightness change compensation section compensates for brightness changes by dividing the average of green values by the average of red or blue values in a case where the colors of the target pixels in each block are represented by RGB. A pulse detection section detects a pulse from temporal changes in target pixel values in each block.

Abstract: Methods and system include receiving frames of data generated for an online game, from a server device and encoding the frames using an encoder. Each encoded frame of data is transmitted to a client device over a network, for rendering. A monitoring engine is used to evaluate the data contained in the encoded frame to determine if an amount of data contained in the encoded frame exceeds a maximum data limit specified for a communication channel established between the server device and the client device. When the amount of data contained in the encoded frame exceeds the maximum data limit, a signal is sent to the encoder to dynamically reduce amount of data included in one or more subsequent frames forwarded to the client device for rendering. The adjusting is performed to maintain a frame rate defined for the online game.
