  • Body motion driven interface system
    Patent number: 10632380
    Abstract: A body motion driven interface system, the system uses an interface to track body position along with optional body positional elements driven by the user's body. The body motion driven interface includes an interactive object, a rocking platform for supporting the user's body, a tilt sensor for sensing tilt of the rocking platform, an optional position sensor for sensing position of the body positional elements relative to the rocking platform, and an optional tactile sensor for sensing touch of the body. The system further includes a control unit receiving tilt sensor data from the tilt sensor, position sensor data from the position sensor and tactile sensor data from the tactile sensor. The control unit uses the tilt sensor data, the position sensor data and the tactile sensor data to generate instructions that change a state within the computer driven visual display to create an imagination driven simulated reality.
