  • Publication number: 20240020551
    Abstract: Systems and methods for emotional augmentation of emotionless software by inference from user emotions comprise initiating a call with a participant in communication with a communication module of the computer. A first communication is received by the computer from the participant, the first communication comprising an emotion attribute comprising information about an emotional characteristic expressed by the participant. Additionally, evaluating, by the computer, the emotion attribute expressed by the participant from the first communication. An emotion feedback attribute is generated based on the emotion attribute to elicit a response from the participant. A second communication is output comprising the emotional expression attribute.

  • Patent number: 11276182
    Abstract: Disclosed herein include systems, devices, computer readable media, and methods for enhancing human visual motion perception in the periphery (e.g., the far periphery, or the extreme periphery) or improving user safety using, for example, at least one auditory stimulus with a falling pitch.

  • Patent number: 9192304
    Abstract: A filter for detecting changes in skin color. The filter includes a filter material capable of filtering a frequency range and configured to orthogonalize an overall red response and an overall blue response in response to a spectral power distribution of a given light condition. The overall red response is based on a first plurality of spectral responses for a first human perceived chromatic channel used primarily for detecting blood oxygenation in a human. The overall blue response is based on a second plurality of spectral responses for a second human perceived chromatic channel used primarily for detecting blood volume.
