    摘要: A system may produce a multimedia presentation that includes visual stimuli, auditory stimuli, olfactory stimuli, thermal stimuli and air currents that are perceptible to a human user. All or part of the system may be housed in or affixed to a table or desk. Sensors may monitor physiology or activities of the user and provide feedback regarding the user's response to the presentation. A user may input instructions for the system. Based on these instructions, the system may present a multimedia presentation which tends to produce a target physiological state of the user that is specified in the instructions or which tends to maintain a current physiological state of the user. The system may employ a control space to control the presentation. This control space may have axes that correspond to how a user perceives multimedia presentations.

    摘要: Camera images may be analyzed to identify perceptual control axes for a lighting system. These control axes may correspond to how human users perceive lighting scenes. A camera may capture high-dynamic-range images of a new room under various lighting conditions. Dimensionality-reduction may be applied to the images to create an image-based map. In this map, each datapoint may correspond to one of the images. The map may be transformed to align it with how human users perceive lighting scenes in the new room. The transformed map may be employed as a control space for the lighting system. In some cases, the map is created without gathering user ratings of lighting scenes for the new room. In other cases, creating the map involves gathering user ratings for as few as three lighting scenes for the new room.

    摘要: In exemplary implementations of this invention, a computer-assisted, handheld machining tool allows even an inexperienced user to carve a complex 3D object, while maintaining artistic freedom to modify the sculpture from an initial CAD design. The tool prevents the user from unintentionally removing material from a volume defined by the CAD design. It does so by slowing or halting spindle rotation as the bit approaches or penetrates the protected volume. The user can override this protective feature. The tool may operate in at least three interaction modes: (i) a static mode in which a static CAD model is used, where the computer assists by preventing the user from damaging the static model; (ii) a dynamic mode where the computer dynamically modifies the CAD model during the sculpting process; and (iii) an autonomous mode where the computer can operate independently of the user, for tasks such as semi-automatic texture rendering.

    摘要: Closed loop control of a multimedia system may be achieved with a control space that includes at least two control axes. In each control axis, a coordinate on the axis may indicate a degree to which a multimedia scene facilitates or is perceived to facilitate a user state or a degree to which the user state is achieved. For example, the two control axes may be focus and restoration. A user may provide input that specifies a target state. The target state may be different than, or the same as, the user's current state. The system may select a scene that has coordinates, in the control space, that are closest, by at least a threshold, to the target state, and present the scene to the user. Sensors in the system may measure a user state that results from presenting the scene. The system may revise the scene's coordinates accordingly.
