Abstract: Computer-implemented peer-engagement through graphical definition of contact-generating events in a virtualized metaverse includes visually presenting to a user, on an interactive interface, a multi-dimensional scene of a virtual environment. The user provides input to graphically define one or more contact-generating events within the multi-dimensional scene, which events are detected as being triggered by one or more virtualized avatars in the multi-dimensional scene. According to the triggering of the events and other predefined contact-engaging criteria, a contact-initiating prompt may be transmitted to a peer user associated with the one or more virtualized avatars in the multi-dimensional scene.

Abstract: A reading device for capacitive sensing element comprises a differential capacitive sensing element, a modulator, a charge-voltage conversion circuit, a phase adjustment circuit, a demodulator and a low-pass filter. The modulator outputs a modulation signal to the common node of the capacitive sensing element and modulates the output signal of the capacitive sensing element. The two input terminals of the charge-to-voltage conversion circuit are connected to two non-common nodes of the capacitive sensing element. The charge-to-voltage converter read the output charge of the capacitive sensing element and convert it into a voltage signal. The modulator generates a demodulation signal through the phase adjustment circuit. The demodulator receives the demodulation signal from the phase adjustment circuit and demodulates the output of the charge-to-voltage conversion circuit. The low-pass filter is connected to the output of the demodulator for filtering the demodulated voltage signal to output the read signal.
