A method and an electronic device for enhancing efficiency of searching for a region of interest in a virtual environment are provided. The virtual environment includes a visible scene and an invisible scene. A picture-in-picture (PIP) is displayed in the visible scene as a directional guidance or distance hint related to the region of interest in the invisible scene, thereby saving time and enhancing efficiency of searching for the region of interest.

Method and electronic device for enhancing efficiency of searching for regions of interest in a virtual environment

An input device for a finger touch interface includes a magnetic unit worn on a tip of a user's thumb for establishing a magnetic field, at least a first magnetic field sensing unit worn on the tip of any finger except the thumb and at least a second magnetic field sensing unit worn on a segment of any finger except the thumb. The first/second magnetic field sensing unit is used to detect magnetic flux density of the magnetic field so as to generate a corresponding signal as an input instruction.

Input device, system and method for finger touch interface

A multi-resolution display system including a desktop display area, a foveal projection device, a sensor, a control unit, and a manually adjustable fixture is provided. The desktop display area displays a central image and a low-resolution image. The control unit determines six-dimensional (6D) orientation information of the foveal projection device relative to the desktop display area according to a projected image detected by the sensor, so as to control the foveal projection device to project the central image within a target area on the desktop display area. The manually adjustable fixture fixes the foveal projection device on top of the desktop display area, and the movement of the manually adjustable fixture has a freedom of up to six dimensions.

Multi-resolution display system

A touch control virtual screen apparatus is provided. The touch control virtual screen apparatus includes a screen, an optical structure, and a detection module. The screen is adapted for emitting light. The optical structure includes at least one optical lens, and is adapted for configuring an image of a virtual screen in a space corresponding to a screen image, in accordance with the optical imaging principle. The detection module is adapted for detecting whether a user touches the image of the virtual screen, and detecting a signal corresponding to a position of the virtual screen being touched, and converting the signal into the position and a related instruction corresponding to the position. In such a way, the user is allowed to operate digital content displayed on a virtual screen in a touch control manner, without directly touching the screen.

Touch control virtual screen apparatus

A multi-resolution digital table display system is provided for integrally displaying an image picture with more than one resolution. The multi-resolution digital table display system includes a table, a peripheral projection device, a foveal projection device, and an image module. For saving space and avoiding affection of user's hand, the peripheral projection device and the foveal projection device required for projecting images are disposed under the table. The image module provides a peripheral image with a first resolution to the peripheral projection device for projecting the same to a projection screen, and provides a foveal image with a second resolution to the foveal projection device for projecting the same to the projecting screen, such that an image picture can be integrally displayed on the projecting screen.
