METHOD FOR PROVIDING VIBRATION AND WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18372338 titled 'METHOD FOR PROVIDING VIBRATION AND WEARABLE ELECTRONIC DEVICE SUPPORTING THE SAME
Simplified Explanation
The wearable electronic device described in the abstract includes speakers, vibration devices, and a processor that can identify objects in a virtual space, generate corresponding sounds, and control the vibration devices based on the movement of the objects.
- The processor identifies objects and their positions in a virtual space displayed through the device's display.
- The processor generates sounds corresponding to the movement of the objects and outputs them through the speakers.
- The processor controls vibration devices to vibrate based on the movement of the objects.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in virtual reality gaming, immersive experiences, and interactive storytelling.
Problems Solved
This technology enhances the user experience by providing synchronized audio and tactile feedback in virtual environments.
Benefits
Users can enjoy a more immersive and engaging experience in virtual reality content with synchronized audio and tactile feedback.
Potential Commercial Applications
This technology could be used in VR gaming devices, entertainment systems, and virtual reality training simulations.
Possible Prior Art
Prior art may include similar wearable devices with audio and tactile feedback features, but this specific combination of features may be novel.
Unanswered Questions
How does the device differentiate between different objects in the virtual space?
The abstract does not provide details on how the processor distinguishes between multiple objects in the virtual space.
What is the range of movement that can be detected by the vibration devices?
The abstract does not specify the limitations or capabilities of the vibration devices in detecting movement.
Original Abstract Submitted
A wearable electronic device according to an embodiment may comprise a plurality of speakers, a plurality of vibration devices, and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to identify a first object corresponding to a first sound and a position of the first object in a virtual space of VR content displayed through the display. The at least one processor may be configured to obtain a second sound corresponding to the movement of the first object based on the first sound and the position of the first object. The at least one processor may be configured to output the second sound through the plurality of speakers. The at least one processor may be configured to determine one or more vibration devices corresponding to the movement of the first object among the plurality of vibration devices. The at least one processor may be configured to control the one or more vibration devices to vibrate while the second sound is output through the plurality of speakers.
