Abstract
Images of a player of a computer game are analyzed to determine whether motion of the player such as sway may resemble a precursor motion pattern to motion sickness, so that the player may be advised accordingly before the symptoms of motion sickness manifest themselves.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- determining, based on a first image of a user, a first movement pattern associated with the user;
- receiving a second image of the user, the second image showing a head-mounted display (HMD);
- generating, from the second image, a second movement pattern associated with the user;
- determining a potential for motion sickness based on a comparison of the second movement pattern and the first movement pattern;
- and
- generating an advisory associated with the potential for motion sickness, wherein the advisory includes at least one of an audible advisory or a visual advisory.
3 more elements
A processor system configured to:
- determine, based on a first image of a user, a first movement pattern associated with the user;
- receive a second image of the user, the second image showing a head-mounted display (HMD);
- generate, from the second image, a second movement pattern associated with the user;
- determine a potential for motion sickness based on a comparison of the second movement pattern and the first movement pattern;
- and
- generate an advisory associated with the potential for motion sickness, wherein the advisory includes at least one of an audible advisory or a visual advisory.
3 more elements
A device comprising:
- at least one computer memory that is not a transitory signal and that includes instructions executable by at least one processor system to:
- determine, based on a first image of a user, a first movement pattern associated with the user;
- receive a second image of the user, the second image showing a head-mounted display (HMD);
- generate, from the second image, a second movement pattern associated with the user;
- determine a potential for motion sickness based on a comparison of the second movement pattern and the first movement pattern;
- and
- generate an advisory associated with the potential for motion sickness, wherein the advisory includes at least one of an audible advisory or a visual advisory.
