Abstract
An orientation assistance system comprises acquisition means for acquiring a real or virtual visual environment, non-visual human/machine interface means, and processing means for processing the digital representation of the visual environment to provide an electrical control signal for controlling a non-visual interface. The human/machine interface means comprise a bracelet having a haptic region with a surface area of between 60×60 millimeters and 150×150 millimeters, with a set of N×M active spikes, where N is between 5 and 100 and M is between 10 and 100. The processing means for processing the digital representation is configured to periodically extract at least one pulsed digital activation pattern of a subset of the spikes of the haptic region.
Claims14
An orientation assistance system, comprising:
- acquisition means for acquiring a real or virtual visual environment and non-visual human/machine interface means, the system configured for processing a digital representation of the visual environment to provide an electrical control signal for controlling a non-visual interface, wherein:
- the human/machine interface means comprises a bracelet having a haptic interface consisting essentially of a single haptic region located on an inner surface of the bracelet, the single haptic region having a surface area of between 60×60 millimeters and 150×150 millimeters, with a set of N×M active spikes, where N is between 5 and 100 and M is between 10 and 100;
- the processing the digital representation comprises periodically extracting at least one pulsed digital activation pattern of a subset of the spikes of the haptic region, wherein the pulsed digital activation pattern is determined on a basis of a level of experience of a user.
