ORIENTATION FEEDBACK DEVICES AND METHODS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240272707 titled 'ORIENTATION FEEDBACK DEVICES AND METHODS
The abstract describes an orientation feedback device for a head-mountable display (HMD), which includes a display, a frame surrounding the display, a facial interface attached to the frame, and an orientation feedback device attached to the frame or the facial interface.
- The innovation involves an orientation feedback device for HMDs.
- The device includes an orientation indicator to provide feedback on the user's orientation.
- The device is attached to the frame or facial interface of the HMD.
- The orientation feedback device enhances the user experience by providing real-time orientation information.
Potential Applications:
- Virtual reality gaming
- Augmented reality applications
- Training simulations
- Medical procedures
- Industrial design and visualization
Problems Solved:
- Lack of real-time orientation feedback in HMDs
