Publication number: 20240061510Abstract: A device for motion sickness reduction, directional indication, and neural rehabilitation that provides three modes of operation. The device operates by providing haptic feedback using transducers that convert electrical signals to a tactile sensation such as pressure, vibration, electrical stimulation, temperature, or airflow. The transducers are located at different locations on the body of a user, and actively change their operation to indicate a direction of motion or rotation to the user through haptic (tactile) feedback. This tactile feedback can be used to reduce motion sickness, provide directional indication, and enhance neural rehabilitation.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 4, 2023Publication date: February 22, 2024Inventor: Evgene Fainstain

Patent number: 11899844Abstract: A device for motion sickness reduction. The device operates by providing haptic feedback using transducers that convert electrical signals to a tactile sensation such as pressure, vibration, electrical stimulation, temperature, or airflow. The transducers are located at different locations on the body of a user, and actively change their operation to indicate a direction of motion or rotation to the user through haptic (tactile) feedback. This tactile feedback can be used to reduce motion sickness. In an embodiment, the feedback is improved by deducting motion associated with the user's visual frame of reference from motion associated with the user's vestibular frame of reference.Type: GrantFiled: February 21, 2023Date of Patent: February 13, 2024Assignee: NEUROHAPTICS, INC.Inventor: Evgene Fainstain

Publication number: 20230102620Abstract: A rendering processor assigns varying logical pixel dimensions to regions of an image frame and rendering pixels of the image frame based on the logical pixel dimensions. The rendering processor renders in highest resolution (i.e., with smaller logical pixel dimensions) those areas of the image that are more important (on which the viewer is expected to focus (the “foveal region”), or regions with little-to-no motion), and renders in lower resolution (i.e., with larger logical pixel dimensions) those areas of the image outside the region of interest, or regions that are speedily moving, so that loss of detail in those regions will be less noticeable to the viewer. For regions with less detail or greater magnitude of motion, larger logical pixel dimensions reduce the computational workload without affecting the quality of the displayed graphics as perceived by a user.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 17, 2022Publication date: March 30, 2023Inventors: Evgene FAINSTAIN, Scott A.

Patent number: 10926056Abstract: Described herein are a method, system and apparatus for mitigating motion sickness in a virtual reality (VR) environment. In an implementation, the system and apparatus can include a VR controller board, a processor and a VII headset. In an implementation, the processor and VR headset are an integrated device. In general, the method includes capturing measurements using the VR controller board. The measurements are indicative of user directional movements in a physical environment relative to the VR environment. In an implementation, the measurements relate to changes in the location of the center of mass of the user relative to the VR controller board. The processor uses the measurements to determine predetermined actions in the VR environment. The predetermined actions are then executed in the VR environment nearly simultaneous with the user directional movements in the physical environment.Type: GrantFiled: December 13, 2017Date of Patent: February 23, 2021Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: Evgene Fainstain

Patent number: 10354365Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing hybrid anti-aliasing operations are disclosed. The hybrid anti-aliasing resolve operation combines multi-sampling anti-aliasing (MSAA) and post-processing anti-aliasing to generate higher-quality images in a computationally efficient manner. In one embodiment, a processor detects a request to perform an anti-aliasing resolve operation on an image stored in the memory. Responsive to detecting the request, the processor expands dimensions of the image and then filters the image with a post-processing anti-aliasing filter. After filtering the image, the processor performs an averaging of the image which becomes the result of the anti-aliasing resolve operation. Expanding dimensions of the image involves converting sub-pixels of the image into regular pixels. The processor can also rotate the image to align the sub-pixels into a vertical and horizontal grid pattern prior to filtering the image.Type: GrantFiled: January 17, 2017Date of Patent: July 16, 2019Assignee: Adavanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: Evgene Fainstain
