Devices related to a conductive fabric sensor are provided. A device can comprise an insulting and flexible fabric substrate, a central transmitting electrode on a top surface of the insulting and flexible fabric substrate, a plurality of receiving electrodes surrounding the central transmitting electrode and connected to the central transmitting electrode, and a power supply configured to generate a respective electric field between the central transmitting electrode and each receiving electrode of the plurality receiving electrodes.

Three dimensional touch conductive fabric

Wearable devices and methods of using the same for inputting ambient conditions and the movement and bio-signals of a user to an external device are provided. The wearable device can include a finger sensor and a wrist sensor, wherein each includes an accelerometer, a gyroscope, and a compass. The compass can be a magnetometer. The wrist sensor can also include a power source, a computer, and a touchscreen.

Wearable device and methods of using the same

Systems and methods for virtual collaboration between participants in remote locations are provided. A system can include a computing device, a display, a plurality of cameras, a microphone, at least one speaker or headset, a sensor, and a computer-readable medium having software stored thereon for generating a virtual roundtable experience for the user.

VRT: virtual round table

Techniques and systems are described that enable improved gesture discernment from input devices, as well as simplified modeling and processing of gestures by application software layers. Given data (e.g., about movements, actions, or events) gathered from input devices, techniques and systems allow gestures to be discerned and inferred more formally and reliably, and processed more easily by an application layer. A gesture interpreter is provided that, in response to receiving an activation input data from an input device, instantiates a high-level Petri Net instance, executes the high-level Petri Net instance, and returns, to an application layer, an outcome gesture indicative of a terminal node in a path of the high-level Petri Net instance being traversed during the execution of the high-level Petri Net instance.
