  • Publication number: 20180267619
    Abstract: A marker (3020) is any part of a user's body or is any mark attached to the user. A sensor (3040) is attached to the user. An operation region calculation unit (2020) calculates an operation region included in a captured image on the basis of a position of the marker (3020) included in the captured image generated by a camera. A recognition unit (2040) calculates a position or motion of an operation body captured in the operation region, and recognizes an input operation on the basis of the calculated position or motion of the operation body. Note that the recognition unit (2040) calculates a position of the operation body captured in the operation region at a timing based on a result of detection by the sensor (3040). The recognition unit (2040) calculates motion of the operation body captured in the operation region in a period including a timing based on a result of detection by the sensor (3040).

  • Patent number: 9278705
    Abstract: An information presentation device transmits information of a car navigation system, installed in a vehicle, to a driver in form of tactile stimuli, wherein a controller controls a plurality of vibrators attached to a steering wheel. The vibrators are arranged in proximity to vibration transmitters, corresponding to holding parts of a steering wheel, so that they are controlled with desired vibration intensity and vibration start timing in response to drive signals from the controller. Two vibrators are arranged in the holding parts of a steering wheel which come in contact with driver's hands and are controlled to generate a virtual vibrating source, thus rendering a driver feeling a sensation as if a vibrating source is moving in upward-downward directions, left-right directions, and far-near directions in the front side of a driver. Thus, it is possible to present accurate information with a small amount of energy consumption in driving vibrators.
