==TETHER ACTUATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUALIZATION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240036335 titled 'TETHER ACTUATION SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR VISUALIZATION DEVICE

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes an AR/VR system that includes a wearable visualization assembly worn by a user during a ride stage of an attraction. The assembly displays virtual features for visualization by the user. The assembly also includes a sensor that provides feedback on the attachment status of the assembly to the user. The system further includes a retraction assembly coupled to the wearable visualization assembly via a tether, which can retrieve the tether. A controller is communicatively coupled to the retraction assembly and the sensor, and it can actuate the retraction assembly to retrieve the tether and transition the assembly to a storage configuration if the feedback indicates that the assembly is detached during the ride stage.

* The patent application describes a wearable visualization assembly for AR/VR systems.
* The assembly includes a sensor that provides feedback on the attachment status of the assembly to the user.
* A retraction assembly is coupled to the wearable visualization assembly via a tether and can retrieve the tether.
* A controller is communicatively coupled to the retraction assembly and the sensor.
* The controller can actuate the retraction assembly to retrieve the tether and transition the assembly to a storage configuration if the feedback indicates detachment during the ride stage.

Potential Applications:
* Theme park attractions: The AR/VR system can be used in theme park attractions to enhance the user experience during ride stages.
* Virtual tours: The system can be used to provide virtual features and visualization during virtual tours of various locations.

Problems Solved:
* Ensuring attachment status: The sensor provides feedback on the attachment status of the wearable visualization assembly, ensuring that it remains securely attached to the user during the ride stage.
* Tether management: The retraction assembly and controller allow for easy retrieval and storage of the tether, preventing it from becoming tangled or causing inconvenience to the user.

Benefits:
* Enhanced user experience: The wearable visualization assembly allows users to visualize virtual features during ride stages, enhancing their overall experience.
* Improved safety: The sensor provides feedback on attachment status, ensuring that the assembly remains securely attached to the user, reducing the risk of accidents or loss during the ride stage.
* Convenient tether management: The retraction assembly and controller simplify the management of the tether, making it easy to retrieve and store, improving user convenience.


==Original Abstract Submitted==

an augmented reality, virtual reality, and/or mixed reality (ar/vr) system includes a wearable visualization assembly configured to be worn by a user and to display virtual features for visualization by the user during a ride stage of an attraction. the wearable visualization assembly includes a sensor configured to provide feedback indicative of an attachment status of the wearable visualization assembly on the user. the ar/vr system also includes a retraction assembly coupled to the wearable visualization assembly via a tether and configured to retrieve the tether. the ar/vr system further includes a controller communicatively coupled to the retraction assembly and the sensor. the controller is configured to actuate the retraction assembly to retrieve the tether to transition the wearable visualization assembly to a storage configuration in response to the feedback indicating that the wearable visualization assembly is in a detached configuration during the ride stage.
