Abstract: An apparatus for sensing includes a computer. The apparatus includes one or more individual sensing tiles in communication with the computer that form a sensor surface that detects force applied to the surface and provides a signal corresponding to the force to the computer which produces from the signal a time varying continuous image of force applied to the surface, where the surface is contiguous, and detected force can be sensed in a manner that is geometrically continuous and seamless on a surface. A method for determining locations of tiles of a sensor.

Abstract: A system for viewing in a structure having a first participant and at least a second participant each having a VR headset to be worn by the first and second participants. The system has a first computer hard wired to the first VR headset. Each participant sees every other participant in the structure as every other participant physically appears in the structure in real time in a simulated world simultaneously displayed about them by the respective VR headset each participant is wearing. Each participant sees the simulated world from their own correct perspective in the structure. The system has coloring on at least a portion of the structure so the portion of the structure with coloring does not appear in the simulated world. Method for viewing in a structure having a first participant and at least a second participant.

Abstract: A system for viewing a shared virtual reality having a plurality of virtual reality headsets. Each headset producing a shared virtual reality that is viewed by persons wearing the headsets. The system comprises a communication network to which each headset is in communication to send and receive a virtual orientation and a virtual position associated with each person of the persons wearing the headsets. The system comprises a computer in communication with each headset through the network which transmits a virtual audience that is viewed by each headset. The virtual audience formed from the virtual orientation and the virtual position associated with each person wearing the headset over time as each person views the virtual story, so each person views in the headset the person is wearing the virtual story, the virtual orientation and virtual position of each other person of the persons wearing the headset. A method for viewing a shared virtual reality. A non-transitory readable storage medium which includes a computer program stored on the storage medium in a non-transient memory for viewing a shared virtual reality.

Abstract: A sensor having a set of plates, each having a sensing element, of a grid of wires disposed on a base, and a top surface layer that is disposed atop the set of plates, so that force imparted from above onto the top surface layer is transmitted to the plates and thence to the grid of wires. The sensor includes a computer in communication with the grid which causes prompting signals to be sent to the grid and reconstructs a continuous position of force on the surface from interpolation based on data signals received from the grid. A method for sensing.

Abstract: An apparatus for a shoe which provides information to a remote computing device having a user application. The apparatus includes a first insert configured to be disposed in the shoe having a wireless transmitter, at least one sensor for sensing pressure that provides an antialiased image of pressure, and a controller in communication with the sensor and the transmitter which receives the pressure sensed by the sensor and transmits data associated with the pressure sensed through the transmitter to the device. A method for providing information about a user disposed in a first shoe of the user. A wireless pressure sensitive shoe insert.
