Abstract: A wireless control device includes a small, lightweight housing worn by an operator, for example on the operator's wrist, and a controlled device, for example a personal computer. Several optical emitters, preferably light emitting diodes operating in the infrared range, and several optical detectors are provided on the housing. At least one x-axis emitter-detector pair operates to detect an x-direction of a pointing motion or gesture, and at least one y-axis emitter-detector pair operates to detect a y-direction of a pointing motion or gesture. This motion can then be used to cause a response in the controlled device. For example, angles of the operator's hand at the wrist can be interpreted to induce motion of a cursor on a computer display. The device may also include a motion sensor, an environmental condition sensor, or a voice recognition sensor, and can also be adapted for gesture recognition and image scanning applications.

Abstract: Sound data output and manipulation with haptic feedback. Haptic sensations are associated with sound data to assist in navigating through and editing the sound data. The sound data is loaded into computer memory and played such that sound is output from an audio device. The sound playing is controlled by user input for navigation through the sound data. Haptic commands are generated based on the sound data and are used to output haptic sensations to the user by a haptic feedback device manipulated by the user. The haptic sensations correspond to one or more characteristics of the sound data to assist the user in discerning features of the sound data during the navigation through and editing of the sound data.

Abstract: There is provided a musical tone generation control system which enables the user to obtain a feeling of operation as well as to obtain a feeling of satisfaction as if he or she were aggressively participating in performance or playback of a musical composition or the like. The musical tone generation control system has at least one operating terminal that can be carried by an operator. Each operating terminal detects a motion of the operating terminal caused by an operation of the operator, generates motion information based on the detected motion, and transmits the generated motion information to the musical tone generation control apparatus. A musical tone generation control apparatus including a tone generating apparatus that generates musical tones generates performance control information for controlling musical tones generated from the tone generating apparatus based on the received motion information, generates vibration control information based on the generated performance control information, and transmits the generated vibration control information to the operating terminal. The operating terminal generates a vibration corresponding to the received vibration control information.

Abstract: A system measures performance activity of a user using a motion capture device, such as one or more knee sleeves each a plurality of inertial-measurement unit. Captured motion characteristic data is classified against previously captured data and then mapped to particular audio effects, which are then altered in different ways depending on the classification and provided the user. The audio feedback works to improve the user's performance of the activity by changing between negative and positive feedback depending on the user's performance. The system regularly measures the motion capture data, altering audio effects provided to the user, until the user reaches an improvement goal.
