隔空操控三星Gear VR

人：三星VR

事：第三代 Gear VR

時：2016/3

地：USPTO

物：用过手机VR头盔的用户都应该清楚，手机VR头盔最不方便的地方就是操控，由于VR头盔不能实现向手机触屏那样的控制，只能通过头部的摆动、以及蓝牙手柄来控制，而且想要在头盔内切换App十分困难，而三星的这项隔空操控专利会让Gear VR的操控更加随心所欲，可以带来VR体验上的提升。

摘要：

美国专利局在二月底通过了一项三星的专利申请，三星的这款Gear VR在头盔的左侧上方配备了一个传感器模组，传感器模组可以隔空识别用户的手势操作，并与Gear VR的中的手机进行反馈，也就是你无需触屏/按键即可操作Gear VR。通过此功能对Gear VR中的手机进行任何触控操作，而且还可以实现快捷调节音量大小。

SENSOR BASED UI IN HMD INCORPORATING LIGHT TURNING ELEMENT
Abstract

A head-mounted display (HMD) system includes a head-mounted frame that encases a portable electronic device (PED) that includes a touch-less sensor, and the PED. The frame includes: a front slot to hold the PED and maintain contact with the PED's display face; an entry via dimensioned to prevent blockage of the sensor's field of view; and a light turning element positioned to redirect the sensor's field of view through an exit via in the frame and into open space outside of the frame. The PED includes: the sensor to detect a touch-less gesture; an image display to display image content on the PED's front display face; and processing circuitry configured to change modes from handheld mode to HMD operation mode based on a determination that the PED is encased by the frame and to select the image content based on input signals received from the sensor and the mode.

索尼虛擬實境設備

人：索尼

事：一種虛擬實境手套控制器，用於操作虛擬實境設備

時：2016/3

地：USPTO

物：專利主要描述了“肢体”運動如何在頭戴顯示器中進行渲染，即如何將用戶的手臂運動“翻譯”成虛擬現實設備顯示屏上的影像動作。

摘要：

這幾項專利描述了一種表面佈滿感測器的手套，這些感測器可以被攝像頭追蹤，並轉化成用戶所見的面。這一手套的每根手指都配備了彎曲感測器，以跟蹤細微的運動。而通過壓力感測器，手套也可以感應用戶對物體施加的壓力。例如，這一手套可以感應用戶拉住門把手、開啟把手並推開門的過程，而用戶將會在虛擬環境中看到這樣的手掌運動。此前演示的PS VR通過索尼PS Move手柄來完成這類操作。

Note:

The virtual reality environment may be next patent battle. The international companies invests more money to research new product for the virtual reality environment.

information processing apparatus, information processing method and program to recognize an object from a captured image
Abstract

There is provided an information processing apparatus, which includes an input unit and a control unit. The input unit is configured to serially input an image captured by a capturing device. The control unit is configured to detect a user's hand from the input image, to recognize a position, a posture and a size of the hand detected while moving. A predetermined area of a surface on which the hand is moved as an operation area is defined based on the position, the posture and the size of the hand recognized. A virtual three dimensional object for operation by the user is produced disposed on the operation area. Also, an information processing method and a program are provided for the information processing apparatus.

Information processing apparatus, program, and information processing method
Abstract

According to an illustrative embodiment, an information processing apparatus includes an imaging unit; and an image generation unit to generate a display image based on a distance between the imaging unit and an object, wherein the distance is detected by using a plurality of images obtained by the imaging unit at respective focus distances.
