Abstract
A video display apparatus includes a display configured to reproduce a video, a processor configured to generate a signal for applying an electrical stimulus to a user, based on a motion depicted in the video, and a communication unit configured to transmit the signal to an electrical stimulation apparatus.
Claims20
A video display apparatus comprising:
- a display configured to reproduce a virtual reality video;
- a processor configured to determine whether to generate a signal for applying an electrical stimulus to a user, based on a motion depicted in the video, and to generate the signal when a determination to generate the signal is made;
- and
- a communicator configured to transmit the generated signal to an electrical stimulation apparatus.

2 more elements
An electrical stimulation apparatus, comprising:
- a transceiver configured to receive, from a video display apparatus that is being used by a user viewing a virtual reality video, a signal for applying an electrical stimulus to the user based on a motion depicted in the video;
- a sensor configured to detect a motion of the user;
- a processor configured to adjust the received signal based on the detected motion of the user;
- and
- a current generator configured to generate a current based on the adjusted signal, and to use the generated current to apply the electrical stimulus to the user via at least one electrode that is attached to the body of the user.
