GUIDED OBJECT TARGETING BASED ON PHYSIOLOGICAL FEEDBACK - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18123212 titled 'GUIDED OBJECT TARGETING BASED ON PHYSIOLOGICAL FEEDBACK
The patent application relates to using physiological feedback to help a user target objects with a computing device.
- Receiving a user attention signal indicating where the user is directing their attention.
- Identifying a predicted object the user intends to target based on the attention signal.
- Outputting a visual identification of the predicted object.
- Receiving a user reaction signal showing the user's physiological reaction to the visual identification.
- Identifying another predicted object if the user's reaction indicates an error.
Potential Applications: - Assistive technology for individuals with mobility impairments. - Gaming technology for interactive and immersive experiences. - Training tools for improving focus and attention skills.
Problems Solved: - Enhancing user interaction with computing devices. - Improving targeting accuracy and efficiency. - Providing real-time feedback based on user physiological responses.
Benefits: - Increased user engagement and satisfaction. - Enhanced user experience with intuitive targeting mechanisms. - Personalized feedback for improved performance.
Commercial Applications: "Physiological Feedback Targeting System for Gaming and Accessibility Technology"
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between user attention signals and reaction signals? 2. What types of physiological reactions can the system detect and analyze?
Original Abstract Submitted
This document relates to employing physiological feedback to aid a user in targeting objects using a computing device. One example relates to a method or technique that can include receiving a user attention signal conveying where a user directs attention. The method or technique can also include, based on the user attention signal, identifying a predicted object that the user intends to target with a targeting mechanism and outputting a visual identification of the predicted object. The method or technique can also include receiving a user reaction signal conveying a physiological reaction of the user to the visual identification of the predicted object. The method or technique can also include, in an instance when the physiological reaction of the user indicates an error, identifying another predicted object that the user intends to target with the targeting mechanism.
