Abstract:
The present invention relates to a telepresence device that is capable of enabling various types of verbal or non-verbal interaction between a remote user and a local user. In accordance with an embodiment, the telepresence device may include a camera combined with direction control means; a projector provided on a top of the camera, and configured such that a direction of the projector is controlled by the direction control means along with a direction of the camera; and a control unit configured to control the direction of the camera by operating the direction control means, to extract an object, at which a remote user gazes, from an image acquired by the camera whose direction has been controlled, to generate a projection image related to the object, and to project the projection image around the object by controlling the projector.
Abstract:
An apparatus for generating haptic feedback, includes: multiple haptic units placed on a first portion of a body; and a control unit placed on a second portion, near the first portion, of the body, wherein the control unit includes: a first module for acquiring information on relative position (i) among the respective multiple haptic units and (ii) between the respective haptic units and the control unit, a second module for acquiring information on absolute position of the control unit by measuring a position of the control unit in reference to an external reference point, and a haptic command module for creating a command signal by referring to at least one piece of the information on relative position acquired by the first module and the information on absolute position acquired by the second module and delivering the created command signal to a corresponding haptic unit among all the multiple haptic units.
Abstract:
Provided is a tactile feedback device including a tactile transmission element having an enclosed space inside, the tactile transmission element including a compression part which is compressed toward the enclosed space by an electrostatic force generated by the application of voltage, and a tactile part which transmits tactile sensation to a user by expansion with movement of air by the compression.

Abstract:
A three-dimensional information augmented video see-through display device according to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure includes a camera interface module which obtains at least two real images from at least two camera modules, a rectification module which performs rectification on the at least two real images, a lens distortion correction module which corrects at least two composite images obtained by combining a virtual image to the at least two real images, based on a lens distortion compensation value indicating a value for compensating for a distortion of a wide angle lens for the at least two real images, and an image generation module which performs side-by-side image processing on the at least two composite images to generate a three-dimensional image for virtual reality VR or augmented reality AR.
Abstract:
Provided are a method and system for non-contact measurement of an electroencephalogram (EEG) spectrum based on pupillary variation. To infer the EEG spectrum from moving images of a subject's pupil, the method includes obtaining moving images of the pupil from the subject, extracting data of pupillary variation from the moving images, extracting a plurality of signals for a plurality of frequency bands based on frequency analysis, and calculating outputs of the plurality of the signals to be used as parameters of a brain-frequency domain.
Abstract:
Provided is a hand-held type user interface device for providing force feedback to a user according to an interaction with a virtual object or a user at a remote place, which remarkably increases the sense of reality in the interaction with the virtual object without limiting an action of the user by sensing the three-dimensional (3D) position and direction of the device and diversifying a force feedback provided to the user according to an action of the user holding the device.
Abstract:
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a parallel fieldbus network-based motor control system including: one or more slave modules that control one or more motors and correspond to each of the one or more motors; and a master module that generates command data for controlling each of the one or more motors and transmits the generated command data to each of the one or more slave modules, wherein each of the one or more slave modules includes a basic processor and an auxiliary processor, the auxiliary processor acquires the command data from the master module via a basic network, and supports the acquired command data to be stored in a shared memory and transmitted to the basic processor or transmits the acquired command data to the basic processor via a local network, the basic processor controls the motor corresponding to the corresponding slave module in accordance with the command data acquired from the master module via the basic network, read from the shared memory, or transmitted via the local network or supports to control the motor, and supports result data executed in accordance with the command data to be stored in the shared memory and transmitted to the auxiliary processor or transmits the result data to the auxiliary processor via the local network, and when abnormality occurs in the basic network, the maser module provides the command data to the basic processor or the auxiliary processor via an auxiliary network or a wireless network, and the auxiliary processor provides the result data to the master module via the auxiliary network or the wireless network, or acquires command data for continuing to control the motor corresponding to the corresponding slave mode from the master module and supports the acquired command data to be stored in the shared memory and transmitted to the basic processor or transmits the acquired command data to the basic processor via the local network.
