Abstract
Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for classifying a physical proximity event with respect to a wearable device based on one or more of a haptic input or a scent input. Additionally, the classified physical proximity event may be correlated with an augmented reality (AR) effect, wherein the AR effect may be initiated via the wearable device. In one example, the AR effect cancels a negative perceptual impact of the physical proximity event.
Claims25
An apparatus comprising:
- a context manager to classify a physical proximity event with respect to a wearable device based on one or more of a haptic input or a scent input;
- a stimuli manager communicatively coupled to the context manager, the stimuli manager to correlate the classified physical proximity event with an augmented reality effect, wherein the augmented reality effect is to be identified as being associated with an offset of a perceptual impact of the physical proximity event;
- and
- an augmented reality controller communicatively coupled to the stimuli manager, the augmented reality controller to initiate the augmented reality effect via the wearable device so that the perceptual impact is to be offset by the augmented reality effect.
A method comprising:
- classifying a physical proximity event with respect to a wearable device based on one or more of a haptic input or a scent input;
- correlating the classified physical proximity event with an augmented reality effect, wherein the augmented reality effect is identified as being associated with an offset of a perceptual impact of the physical proximity event;
- and
- initiating the augmented reality effect via the wearable device so that the perceptual impact is offset by the augmented reality effect.
At least one non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a wearable device, cause the wearable device to:
- classify a physical proximity event with respect to the wearable device based on one or more of a haptic input or a scent input;
- correlate the classified physical proximity event with an augmented reality effect, wherein the augmented reality effect is to be identified as being associated with an offset of a perceptual impact of the physical proximity event;
- and
- initiate the augmented reality effect via the wearable device so that the perceptual impact is to be offset by the augmented reality effect.
