  • Publication number: 20240143066
    Abstract: Provided are a head-mounted information processing apparatus capable of improving user's convenience, and its controlling method. Therefore, it includes a main body device 2 used in a state of being worn on a user's head, and a controller used in a state of being worn on a user's wrist or hand and controlling the main body device. For example, a directional detector 91 in the main body device 2 detects a controller's direction by calculation based on a detected result of a position/attitude sensor of the controller. A rotational detector 92 detects controller's rotation, which uses the direction of the controller as a rotational axis, by calculation based on the detected result of the position/attitude sensor of the controller. An operation instruction converter 87 converts detected results of the directional detector 91 and the rotational detector 92 into instructions for the main body device 2.

  • Patent number: 11970208
    Abstract: A vehicle collision avoidance assist apparatus executes a steering avoidance control of setting an avoidance route for avoiding the collision of the own vehicle with the object in a lane in which the own vehicle moves and executing an avoiding steering process of forcibly steering the own vehicle so as to move the own vehicle along the avoidance route when an index value representing a probability of collision of an own vehicle with an object ahead of the own vehicle becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined index value. The apparatus stops an execution of the steering avoidance control when a departing amount of the own vehicle from the avoidance route becomes equal to or greater than a predetermined departing amount while the electronic control unit executes the steering avoidance control. The predetermined departing amount is set for each of sections of the avoidance route.
