EXERCISE SYSTEM USING AUGMENTED REALITY - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240303939 titled 'EXERCISE SYSTEM USING AUGMENTED REALITY
The abstract describes an exercise system that combines an augmented reality (AR) device with a haptic feedback arrangement to enhance user interaction with virtual digital content.
- The AR device is worn or fitted to the user and displays virtual digital content for the user to view and interact with.
- The haptic feedback arrangement, worn or held by the user, includes a tracking unit to monitor hand movements and a haptic actuator to provide tactile responses based on user actions.
- The haptic feedback arrangement is integrated into a hand device, such as a glove or handheld body, for user convenience and comfort.
Potential Applications: - Fitness and exercise training programs - Rehabilitation and physical therapy - Gaming and entertainment experiences
Problems Solved: - Enhances user engagement and immersion in virtual environments - Provides real-time feedback and tactile responses for improved user experience
Benefits: - Increased motivation and enjoyment in exercise routines - Enhanced physical and cognitive benefits from interactive workouts - Customizable feedback based on user actions and preferences
Commercial Applications: Title: "Innovative Exercise System with AR and Haptic Feedback for Enhanced User Experience" This technology can be utilized in fitness centers, rehabilitation facilities, and entertainment venues to offer unique and engaging exercise experiences. Market implications include increased user retention and customer satisfaction.
Prior Art: Further research can be conducted in the fields of virtual reality (VR) exercise systems, haptic feedback devices, and wearable technology to explore existing innovations related to this technology.
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on advancements in AR technology, haptic feedback systems, and user interface design to enhance the functionality and effectiveness of this exercise system.
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the integration of AR and haptic feedback improve user engagement in exercise routines? - The combination of visual and tactile feedback enhances user immersion and motivation during workouts. 2. What are the potential long-term benefits of using this innovative exercise system? - Users may experience improved physical fitness, cognitive function, and overall well-being through regular use of the technology.
Original Abstract Submitted
an exercise system is provided comprising an augmented reality (ar) device worn by or fitted to a user, the ar device being adapted to display virtual digital content which the user can view and interact with; and a haptic feedback arrangement adapted to be worn or held by at least one hand of the user. the haptic feedback arrangement includes a tracking unit to track the movement of at least one of the user's hands so as determine an action by the user in response to the digital content viewed by the user via the ar device, the haptic feedback arrangement further including a haptic actuator to generate a haptic or tactile response that can be felt by the user's hand/s in response to the user's action. the haptic feedback arrangement is integrated into or secured to a hand device, which comprises either a glove arranged to be fitted to the user's hands or a handheld body that can held by the user.
