  • Patent number: 11551396
    Abstract: Techniques for establishing a biomechanical model of a user performing motion are described. A plurality of sensor modules corresponding to a set of designated body parts (e.g., arms or legs) of the user generate sensing signals when the user performs a pose. Sensing data including accelerometers and/or gyroscopes data generated from the sensing signals is analyzed to detect a medio-lateral direction of each of the designated body parts to infer the pose from the captured motion of the user.

  • Patent number: 11543882
    Abstract: A system for modulating user commands via command input images displayed on a graphical user interface based on a user viewing direction relative to the displayed command input images and the graphical user interface. An image capturing device captures real time images of a user's face, eyes and irises and determines the eye orientation. The graphical user interface is separated into interface portions and the system determines if any of the foregoing are viewed portions. The system determines whether a viewed portion contains a command input image and only allows user input commands via the command input image to be processed if the image is within a viewed portion. The system can modulate a position of a command input image displayed on a graphical user interface based on a user viewing direction relative to graphical user interface thereby moving an input image on the graphical user interface.
