Estimating the term…
There is provided a feedback apparatus for a game, the feedback apparatus comprising at least one electrode for attachment to a user of the feedback apparatus; and a control unit for measuring at least one physiological characteristic of the user via the at least one electrode; for determining whether the at least one electrode has been attached correctly to the user for a predefined electro-stimulation signal level based on the measured at least one physiological characteristic; and for providing an electro-stimulation signal at the predefined level to the user via the at least one electrode in response to an output from the game if it is determined that the at least one electrode has been attached correctly to the user.
A feedback apparatus for a game, the feedback apparatus comprising:
14-15. (canceled)
A method of operating a feedback apparatus for a game, the feedback apparatus having at least one electrode for applying an electro-stimulation signal to a user of the apparatus, the method comprising:
A method as claimed in laim 17 wherein the step of determining whether the at least one electrode has been attached correctly to the user comprises comparing the measured at least one physiological characteristic to a predetermined range of values.
