Latest Patents

Sandor’s listed patent portfolio includes 2 patents. The supplied information identifies the following patent title: “Information Processing Method and Device for Presenting Haptics Received from a Virtual Object.”

The invention concerns a haptic device that presents feedback associated with interactions between virtual objects. A first virtual object is superimposed on the haptic device, while a second virtual object is superimposed on a real object. The method uses haptic event models for both virtual objects to determine the feedback presented to the user.

The described approach allows a user to interact with the second virtual object, including within its boundaries, regardless of the physical shape of the real object. The first virtual object’s shape can differ from the haptic device, enabling it to provide instructions about the interior of the real object.
