The present invention provides a body worn or body connected peripheral vision notification method and system to provide a visual indication to the person of limb or body movement or position. The system and method make use of a simple device which typically can be worn on the wrist or ankle of the user and which provides a visual warning or notification to the user while the user is engaged in various activities or actions. As one example, the invention provides a visual warning that the user may be about to touch his or her face with the hand. Such a warning can cause the user to refrain from touching the face. As another example, a wrist worn device in accordance with the invention can signal to a user the correct positioning of arms and hands for training in hitting a baseball. As a further example, an ankle worn device can signal foot position to monitor a person's stride. In another aspect, the device is on an object associated with a user and the position of the object is detectable by the user when the object comes into peripheral view.

A compact, portable combined light and magnifier apparatus for use with portable computer, such as a portable, hand held video game, having a video screen, such apparatus comprises a body composed of a plurality of panels which define an open space generally the size of the video screen and a battery compartment to supply power and lighting means within the body to provide indirect lighting to the video screen, the body and the battery compartment containing ridges which provide for the body to be releasably secured tothe computer with the video screen. The apparatus includes a cover to fit over the open viewing space of the body an dpivotable between a closed, compact position adjacent the face side of the body and an open, use position extending generally perpendicularly outwardly from the face side of the body. The magnifier portion comprises a frame and a magnifying lens secured within the frame, the lens adapted to conform generally with the computer video screen, the frame pivotably secured within the cover and adapted to move between a compact, stored position within the cover and a magnifying, use positon extending generally perpendicularly from the face of the body to place the magnifying lens a defined, fixed distance directly over the video screen.

摘要:
An electronic game that includes a main body that consists of four panels assembled to form a four-sided pyramid having four vertexes. Each vertex serves as a node for supporting a light which may illuminate a plurality of different colors. Digital circuitry defines a color state vector at each node by illuminating one or none of the colors. Control circuitry connected to the digital circuitry is used for altering the color state of at least one of the lights as the tetrahedron is rotated. In one game, the color of the node brought to the top position changes in the color change pattern established by the color state vector. A player rotates the tetrahedron in an effort to figure out the pattern of color changes. Once the pattern is deciphered, the player makes additional rotations to achieve an object of the game such as having each vertex of the tetrahedron lighted the same color.
