Abstract
A technique to facilitate continuing the operation through a load applied by a user who proceeds with a picture program is provided. A force plate functions as a controller controlling a game console. The foot pressure includes a transmitting section configured to transmit, when the COP of a user enters a peripheral part of the force plate, an alert signal to an HM display configured to output a picture from the game console.
Claims12
A force plate that functions as a controller controlling a picture generating device, the force plate comprising:
- a top board;
- a six-axis force sensor configured to detect forces in three axial directions and moments about three axes that act on the top board, wherein the six-axis force sensor is configured to detect a center of foot pressure of a user, a floor reaction force, and a free moment;
- a first processor;
- and
- a transmitting section configured to transmit, when the first processor determines, based on a detection value of the six-axis force sensor, that the center of foot pressure of the user has entered a peripheral part of the force plate, an alert signal to the picture generating device or to a display that outputs a picture generated by the picture generating device, wherein
- the first processor obtains, based on the detection value from the six-axis force sensor, information on a posture of the user and information on a motion of the user.
