摘要:
A wearable device or electric stimulation of a users body fits a portion of the user's body and includes at least one electrode embedded in the wearable device transferring a stimulating current to the user's body. A connection point is an intermediate connection between the at least one electrode and a control unit. The control unit is configured to generate the stimulating current. A detector is configured to detect if a change in a physical relationship between the connection point and the at least one electrode exceeds a predetermined threshold value, thereby enabling detection of misuse and tampering with the device.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for conveying an emotion to a person being exposed to multimedia information, such as a media clip, by way of tactile stimulation using a plurality of actuators arranged in a close vicinity of the person's body, the method comprising the step of providing tactile stimulation information for controlling the plurality of actuators, wherein the plurality of actuators are adapted to stimulate multiple body sites in a body region, the tactile stimulation information comprises a sequence of tactile stimulation patterns, wherein each tactile stimulation pattern controls the plurality of actuators in time and space to enable the tactile stimulation of the body region, and the tactile stimulation information is synchronized with the media clip. An advantage with the present invention is thus that emotions can be induced, or strengthened, at the right time (e.g. synchronized with a specific situation in the media clip).
摘要:
An optical scanning device (1) for scanning an information layer (2) includes a radiation source (6) for supplying a radiation beam (14), a lens system (7) having an optical axis (OO'), and a detection system (8) including: (i) an astigmatism generating element (9) for generating a first amount of astigmatism (W1) represented by a vector (Wo,1, υ1), so as to transform the radiation beam to a first astigmatic radiation beam (29); (ii) an astigmatism correcting element (27) for generating a second amount of astigmatism (W2) represented by a vector (Wo,2, υ2), so as to transform the first astigmatic radiation beam to a second astigmatic radiation beam (30) having a third amount of astigmatism (W3) represented by a vector (Wo,3, υ3), and (iii) a detector (28) for transforming the second astigmatic radiation beam to an electrical signal. According to the invention, W3 is adapted to the detector and that Wo,2 and υ2 comply substantially with the following equation: (Wo,1, 2υ1)+(Wo,2, 2υ2)=(Wo,3, 2υ3).
