Problems solved by technology

However, manually authoring haptic effects is time-consuming for inexperienced users, and even if users are willing to spend enough time creating related effects, they may not have the artistic sense that experienced haptic effect authors do. Undesirable effects that can ruin the experience

Embodiment Construction

[0033] figure 1 A system 100 according to an embodiment of the invention is illustrated. As illustrated, the system 100 includes one or more sensors 102, a video recorder 104 configured to capture and record images, and an audio recorder 106 configured to capture and record sounds, wherein the sensors 102 are configured to sense motion of an object and Convert the sensed motion into sensor data. In an embodiment, sensor 102, video recorder 104, and audio recorder 106 may be part of the same electronic device. In an embodiment, video recorder 104 and audio recorder 106 may be part of the same electronic device, and sensor 102 may be separate from the electronic device including video recorder 104 and audio recorder 106 . In an embodiment, sensor 102, video recorder 104, and audio recorder 106 may be separate stand-alone devices or be part of separate stand-alone devices.

Abstract

A system includes a sensor, a processor configured to receive a signal output by the sensor, determine a position and descriptor, e.g. type, of the sensor, determine a scene selection of a video, and create a haptic signal based on the selected scene, the signal output by the sensor, and the position and descriptor of the sensor, and a haptic output device is configured to receive the haptic signal and generate a haptic effect based on the haptic signal. A system includes a sensor, a processor configured to receive a signal from the sensor, determine a type of event and activity associated with the sensor, and generate a haptic signal based on the signal from the sensor and the type of event and activity associated with the sensor, and a haptic output device configured to generate a haptic effect based on the haptic signal.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority to US Provisional Patent Application Serial No. 61 / 968,799, filed March 21, 2014, which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to systems and methods for converting sensory data into haptic effects, such as in motion media and user-generated content media. Background technique [0004] Adding eye-catching tactile effects at the right time in a video clip can improve the user's viewing experience and make the experience more immersive. This can be achieved by authoring the haptic effect manually and adding that haptic effect in the timeline. However, manually authoring haptic effects is time-consuming for inexperienced users, and even if users are willing to spend enough time creating the relevant effects, they may not have the artistic sense that experienced haptic effect authors do. Can lead to unwant...
