Assistance system with relevance-dependent stimulus modulation

An assistance system for assisting a person to

• perform a task in a dynamic environment the system comprising:
• an acquisition interface configured to acquire data on the dynamic environment,
• a processor configured to predict at least one behavior of an object or event in the dynamic environment based on the acquired data,
• to determine a relevance measure of the at least one behavior of the object or event based on the prediction,
• to generate a modulation signal, wherein the modulation signal changes at least one signal parameter as a continuous function of the determined relevance, and
• to modulate at least one directional stimulus signal with the modulation signal, wherein the at least one modulated directional stimulus signal further depends on a direction of the predicted at least one behavior of the object or event with respect to the assisted person, and the system further comprising
• at least one actuator configured to output the at least one modulated stimulus signal to the assisted person, and
• at least one sensor configured to detect further stimuli perceivable by the assisted person, and
• the processor is configured to include the detected further stimuli in the at least one directional stimulus signal before modulating the at least one directional stimulus signal.
