Abstract: Aiming assistance is provided for assisting a user in aiming a ranged weapon at a target. The aiming assistance includes receiving telemetry information from one or more sensors, and determining an aim error based on the telemetry information. The aim error indicates of an error between a trajectory of the ranged weapon and an on target trajectory from the ranged weapon to the target. A somatosensation is provided to the user which is indicative of the aim error. This is done by operating haptic devices of a garment worn on an arm or wrist of the user to apply haptic sensation to skin of the arm or wrist. The haptic devices may be electrodes and the applied haptic sensation comprises transcutaneous electrical neurostimulation (TENS), or the haptic devices may be vibrators.

Abstract: A method of treating spasticity uses a garment worn on a target anatomy so as to arrange electrodes on an inner surface of the garment contacting the skin of the target anatomy. Using an electronic processor, a spasticity treatment cycle is performed. The spasticity treatment cycle is initiated by providing a human-perceptible prompt to initiate a spastic event, or by triggering the spastic event by applying electrical stimulation to at least a portion of the target anatomy using the electrodes. Thereafter, electromyography (EMG) signals are measured from the target anatomy using the electrodes. One or more spasm regions in the target anatomy are identified based on the EMG signals. Targeted treatment of the one or more spasm regions is performed using neuromuscular electrical stimulation (NMES), or is directed to be performed by displaying a representation of the target anatomy with the one or more spasm regions indicated on the representation.

Abstract: An activity assistance system includes a video camera arranged to acquire video of a person performing an activity, an output device configured to output human-perceptible prompts, and an electronic processor programmed to execute an activity script. The script comprises a sequence of steps choreographing the activity. The execution of each step includes presenting a prompt via the output device and detecting an event or sequence of events subsequent to the presenting of the prompt. Each event is detected by performing object detection on the video to detect one or more objects depicted in the video and applying one or more object-oriented image analysis functions to detect a spatial or temporal arrangement of one or more of the detected objects. Each event detection triggers an action comprising at least one of presenting a prompt via the output device and and/or going to another step of the activity script.
