Abstract
A visual ability improvement supporting device includes a noise outputting device and a noise generating device. The noise generating device generates noise with intensity which is optimum to a threshold intensity of visibility. The optimum intensity is optimum to induce stochastic resonance (SR). The noise outputting device includes a room lighting device, which illuminates a surrounding area when a lighting switch is turned on, and outputs the visual noise according to the generated noise even when the lighting switch is turned off not to illuminate the surrounding area.
Claims14
A visual ability improvement supporting device comprising:
- an illumination for projecting a light with intensity far stronger than a threshold intensity of human's visibility, wherein a human can recognize a light with an intensity stronger than the threshold intensity and cannot recognize a light with an intensity fainter than the threshold intensity;
- and
- a noise generating device for generating a noise signal,
- wherein the illumination outputs visual noise to a driver of a given vehicle with intensity corresponding to the intensity of the noise signal, and
- wherein the noise signal is set to cause the illumination to output the visual noise with the intensity near the threshold intensity of human's visibility.
A visual ability improvement supporting device comprising:
- a noise generating device for generating an electric noise signal corresponding to a threshold intensity of human's visibility, wherein a human can recognize a light with an intensity stronger than the threshold intensity and cannot recognize a light with an intensity fainter than the threshold intensity;
- and
- a noise outputting device for outputting visual noise according to the noise signal to a driver of a vehicle, so that the visual noise improves the visual ability of the driver.
