    摘要: A system is disclosed, comprising an array of sensors disposed on a plurality of aerial vehicles, a sensor array controller for controlling the plurality of aerial vehicles, a physical feedback mechanism for providing physical feedback to a user, the physical feedback mechanism being configured to be worn on the user's body, and a feedback controller. The sensor array controller is configured to reposition the plurality of aerial vehicles so as to provide a line of sight between each one of the plurality of sensors and a respective part of the user's body monitored by said one of the plurality of sensors. The feedback controller is configured to determine a current position of the user's body based on information obtained using the plurality of sensors, and to control the physical feedback mechanism to provide physical feedback to the user in dependence on the determined position of the user's body.

    摘要: An electronic device may include a display and a lens module through which the display is viewable. The lens module may include a tunable lens with an adjustable spherical power, cylindrical axis, and/or cylindrical power. To tune the tunable lens to compensate for a viewer's eyesight, the display may present at least one target. The optical power of the tunable lens may be set based on the point of gaze relative to the at least one target. Multiple targets with associated optical powers may be presented and the optical power of the tunable lens may be set depending on which target is aligned with the point of gaze. The display may present an image through a masking layer with a ring of pinhole pairs. The electronic device may include an input device that receives user input regarding a perceived image associated with the display and the masking layer.

    摘要: An electronic apparatus includes at least one processor configured to perform the operations of the following units: a display unit configured to display a captured image, an acquisition unit configured to acquire line-of-sight information including a line-of-sight position of an observer that observes the display unit, a display control unit configured to control display based on the line-of-sight information, and a selection unit configured to select an object based on the line-of-sight information. The display unit highlights a limited area as a part of the captured image based on the line-of-sight information. The selection unit selects an object based on the observer's line-of-sight information about the display.

    摘要: According to an example aspect of the present invention, there is provided an apparatus comprising at least one processing core, at least one memory including computer program code, the at least one memory and the computer program code being configured to, with the at least one processing core, cause the apparatus at least to determine a reference point in a three-dimensional space based at least in part on locations of first and second features of a user's eye and on the user's gaze distance, and perform a mapping of the reference point into a viewed scene of a near-to-eye optical device to obtain an estimated gaze point and/or gaze direction of the user who is using the near-to-eye optical device, the mapping being based at least in part on calibration information associated with the user.

    摘要: This disclosure describes systems and methods for unobtrusively and adaptively displaying a watermark on a display screen based on context sensing and behavior analytics. The techniques can include receiving from a sensor of a user device, information about a focus of attention of a user viewing a display screen of the computing device; determining a placement of a perceptible watermark for displaying onto the display screen based, at least in part, on the focus of attention of the user; causing media content to be displayed on the display screen; and causing the watermark to be displayed on the display screen in a position on the display screen based on the focus of attention of the user.
