Abstract
In one aspect, a device includes at least one gyroscope, a processor, and a memory accessible to the processor. The memory bears instructions executable by the processor to identify a force-related parameter to apply at the device, and actuate the gyroscope to apply the force based at least in part on the identification.
Claims20
A device, comprising:
- at least one gyroscope;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor and bearing instructions executable by the processor to:
- identify a force-related parameter to apply at the device;
- and
- based at least in part on the identification, actuate the gyroscope to apply the force.
The method of claim 19, wherein two gyroscopes are actuated to correspond to motion represented in the AV content at least in part by arranging the respective axes of rotation of the gyroscopes to be parallel to each other.
The method of claim 20, wherein the gyroscopes are of at least substantially the same dimensions, and wherein the two gyroscopes are actuated to correspond to motion represented in the AV content at least in part by arranging the respective axes of rotation of the gyroscopes to be oblique in at least two dimensions relative to each other.
A device, comprising:
- at least one gyroscope;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory accessible to the processor and bearing instructions executable by the processor to:
- identify a direction-related parameter for force to apply at the device based at least in part on movement of the device;
- and
- based at least in part on the identification, control the gyroscope to apply force in the direction.
A method, comprising:
- presenting audio video (AV) content on a display of a first device;
- actuating a gyroscope to correspond to motion represented in the AV content.
