    摘要: A linear-travel mechanical switch for use in a headphone device comprises a user button attached to a plunger. The plunger extends into a body of the headphone device. A travel pathway extends in a first linear direction from the plunger and in a second, opposite linear direction from the plunger. At least one bias device is integrated into the linear-travel mechanical switch. The at least one bias device biasing the plunger to a middle position along the travel pathway. A plunger button is located such that depressing the user button engages the plunger button. A first button is located such that a movement of the user button along the travel pathway in the first linear direction engages the first button. A second button is located such that a movement of the user button long the travel pathway in the second, opposite linear direction engages the second button.

    摘要: This technology is directed to modular wearable devices comprising interchangeable functional modules. The modular wearable device is re-configurable, reusable, and extensible comprising skin-conformable base substrates, reusable functional modules, and reusable wire modules. The functional modules are attachable and removable in a plug-and-play type construction. The functional modules may be preprogrammed and connected in unique sequences to achieve customized functions. The functional modules include power, sensor, modifier, and actuator modules that are interchangeable to customize the functionality of the modular wearable device. The functional modules are affixed to a wire module assembly, the wire module assembly providing the infrastructure for power and communications. The sensor module receives an input signal and transmits an output signal to the actuator module to initiate a response function. In certain embodiments, a modifier module may alter the output signal and transmit the altered output signal to the actuator

    摘要: A vibration structure includes a fixing member; a voltage expansion/contraction member that is deformed in a first direction by a voltage; a first vibration member that is elastically coupled to the fixing member to vibrate in the first direction with respect to the fixing member; and a second vibration member that is elastically coupled to the first vibration member to vibrate in the first direction with respect to the first vibration member. The voltage expansion/contraction member is supported by the fixing member and the first vibration member or the second vibration member. A vibration of the first vibration member is superposition of a first vibration at a first resonance frequency and a second vibration at a second resonance frequency, a vibration of the second vibration member is superposition of the first vibration and the second vibration, and the second resonance frequency is a multiple of the first resonance frequency.

    摘要: A disclosed system includes a computing device that generates a virtual reality simulation, a head mounted display worn by a user, and a peripheral device having a haptic actuator. The system is configured to generate an immersive simulation experience for a user of the system and to control and update the virtual reality simulation based on detected motion of the peripheral device and signals generated by the peripheral device in response to user input to the peripheral device. The peripheral device includes a trigger that causes the haptic actuator to generate haptic reaction forces/impulses in response to actuation of the trigger, with actuation of the trigger further influencing the virtual reality simulation. The peripheral device includes first and second grips and is configured to be held by one hand of a user holding the first grip or by two hands of the user holding the first and second grips.
