  • Patent number: 11042214
    Abstract: A movement platform connected to a virtual reality system may have a plurality of movement units. A movement unit may have a sphere with one or more motors and one or more sensors. The one or more motors may rotate the sphere to move a user. The one or more sensors may detect movement or force from the user.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10955907
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a movement platform may be used to develop force models for the determination of movement based on force patterns received from the movement platform. A force model is made by comparing a known user movement to force readings recorded during the user movement. Movement platform force readings may be compared to a plurality of force models to determine a user movement. Once a matching force model is determined, the matching force model may be used to generate instructions for moving a user on the movement platform.

  • Patent number: 10078311
    Abstract: A digital device and a method of forming a digital device. The digital device includes a body, circuitry and a folding assembly. The body is provided with a body having a pointer end and a tail end opposite the pointer end. Circuitry is disposed within the body for sending or receiving signals representing a position of the pointer end relative to a signal receiving surface disposed on a watch. A folding assembly integral with the body permits the body to fold from a linear shape to a folded shape adapted to circumscribe at least a portion of a watch band. The body may be formed with a plurality of hinges interconnecting a plurality of segments of the body, wherein the plurality of hinges connects the body segments to permit the body to pivot from the linear shape to a geometric shape adapted to circumscribe a portion of the watch band.
