  • 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.
