摘要： A device for providing haptic sensation includes a haptic feedback interface. A plurality of videos each recording a real time or near-real time event in a three-dimensional real-world area from a different viewing angle is received and a user input via a mode selector in form of a gesture or a physical touch input is received to indicate a selection of an image-capture device is received. A plurality of different motion of a plurality of objects in an upcoming scene of a captured video is detected based on a look-ahead buffer of the video. A plurality of different haptic cues that includes the one or more movable haptic cues is generated based on the determined haptic feedback. Further, movement of the one or more movable haptic cues is controlled on the haptic feedback interface such that an inter-movement among the plurality of objects is discernible by tactioception.

摘要： An assistive device and method to provide non-visual assistance to a user comprises a haptic feedback interface that includes a plurality of haptic elements. The assistive device generates a touch-discernible output layout on the haptic feedback interface using the plurality of haptic elements. The touch-discernible output layout corresponds to a reproduction of a 3D real-world area within a proximity range of the assistive device and includes a set of different haptic indicators to discern movement of a set of moving objects within the proximity range. The assistive device receives a user input via the haptic feedback interface, the user input indicating a specific amount of pressure applied on the set of different haptic indicators by a user of the assistive device. The assistive device further executes different actions based on different amounts of pressures applied by the user.

摘要： An assistive device and method to provide non-visual assistance to a user comprises a haptic feedback interface that includes a plurality of haptic elements. The assistive device generates a first touch-discernible output layout on the haptic feedback interface using the plurality of haptic elements. The first touch-discernible output layout corresponds to a first reproduction of a 3D real-world area within a first proximity range of the assistive device and includes a first set of different haptic indicators to discern movement of a first set of moving objects within the first proximity range. The assistive device receives a selection of a first haptic indicator that discerns a target moving object and executes a transition from the first touch-discernible output layout to a second touch-discernible output layout based on a movement of the target moving object from the first proximity range to a second proximity range of the assistive device.

摘要： An assistive device and method for non-visually discerning a three-dimensional (3D) real-world area surrounding a user, comprises a haptic feedback interface that includes a plurality of haptic elements. The assistive device receives sensor data of the 3D real-world area within a first proximity range of the assistive device from a plurality of different types of sensors that are communicatively coupled to the assistive device. The assistive device establishes a mapping of a plurality of objects within the first proximity range to the plurality of haptic elements in a defined region of the haptic feedback interface, based on the received sensor data. A haptic feedback generator generates a touch-discernible feedback on the haptic feedback interface based on the established mapping. The touch-discernible feedback comprises a plurality of differential touch-discernible cues to enable the user to non-visually discern the 3D real-world area surrounding the user.

摘要： An assistive device and method to provide non-visual assistance to a user to perceive the surrounding world, comprises a haptic feedback interface that includes a plurality of haptic elements. The assistive device generates a first touch-discernible output layout on the haptic feedback interface using the plurality of haptic elements. The first touch-discernible output layout corresponds to a first reproduction of a 3D real-world area within a first proximity range of the assistive device. The first touch-discernible output layout includes at least a first set of haptic indicators to discern movement of a first set of moving objects within the first proximity range. The first touch-discernible output layout is updated to a second touch-discernible output layout based on a change of the first proximity range to a second proximity range. A rate-of-change of movement of one or more of haptic indicators is controlled on the haptic feedback interface.

摘要： A haptic feedback device for providing haptic sensation comprises a haptic feedback interface that includes a plurality of haptic elements. The haptic feedback device detects a plurality of different motion associated with a plurality of objects in an upcoming scene of a video based on a look-ahead buffer of the video played on an external display device or the haptic feedback device. A haptic feedback is determined for the upcoming scene of the video based on the look-ahead buffer of the video and the detected plurality of different motion associated with the plurality of objects. One or more movable haptic cues are generated on the haptic feedback interface using the plurality of haptic elements in synchronization with a current scene played on the external display device or the haptic feedback device, based on the determined haptic feedback.
