Abstract: Computing interface systems and methods are disclosed. Some implementations include a first accelerometer attached to a first fastening article that is capable of holding the first accelerometer in place on a portion of a thumb of a user. Some implementations may also include a second accelerometer attached to a second fastening article that is capable of holding the second accelerometer in place on a portion of a wrist of a user. Some implementations may additionally or alternatively include magnetometers and/or gyroscopes attached to the first and second fastening articles. Some implementations may also include a processing device configured to receive measurements from the accelerometers, magnetometers, and/or gyroscopes and identify, based on the measurements, symbols associated with motions of a user's hand and/or the orientation of the hand. Some implementations may allow a user to control a cursor in a three dimensional virtual space and interact with objects in that space.

Abstract: A finger device initiates actions on a computer system when placed in contact with a surface. The finger device includes instrumentation that captures images and gestures. When in contact with a surface, the finger device captures images of the surface and gestures made on the surface. The finger device also transmits the images and gesture data to the computer system. An application on the computer system matches the images received from the finger device to a representation of the surface, identifies an action associated with the surface representation and gesture, and executes the action. Instrumenting the finger instead of the surface, allows a user to configure virtually any surface to accept touch input.

Abstract: A hygienic finger protector includes a tubular sheath and an elastic stylus extending therefrom. The sheath is sized to be placed on a finger, extending to approximately the first joint. The elastic stylus is received within an aperture formed in the sheath, adjacent to the closed distal end. A securement flange extends inside the sheath and an enlarged stylus head projects outwardly from the sheath. The elastic stylus is electrically conductive enabling use of the stylus on touch-capacitive screens. A set of shims that are selectively attachable inside the sheath enables fine-tuning the interior sheath dimension. An appropriately-sized shim is placed inside and attached to the sheath to conform the interior size to that required for a snug fit.

Abstract: Disclosed is a remote input method using a fingerprint recognition sensor. A main device activates a fingerprint input mode according to a user's request, and displays a key input unit, menu images and an indicator corresponding to the fingerprint input mode. A remote input device having the fingerprint recognition sensor generates fingerprint data corresponding to the finger touching method in real time, and sends the generated fingerprint data to the main device through a short range wireless communication module. When receiving the fingerprint data, the main device analyzes the type of fingerprint included in the fingerprint data based on the previously stored fingerprint information. The main device also analyzes the user input pattern according to the type of fingerprint and the fingerprint data reception type. Consequently, the main device implements a preset function corresponding to the analyzed user input pattern. The user can control various functions available in the main device using the remote input unit.

Abstract: A system and method for providing informational labels with perceived depth in the field of view of a user of a head mounted display device. In one embodiment, the method includes determining a physical location of the user and the head mounted display device, and identifying and determining a distance from the user to one or more objects of interest in the user's field of view. Using the distance from the user for each object, one can calculate a disparity value for viewing each object. The processor of the head mounted device may gather information concerning each of the objects in which the user is interested. The head mounted display device then provides a label for each of the objects and for each eye of the user, and, using the disparity values, places the labels within the field of view of the user.

Abstract: Disclosed is an input device for a capacitive touch panel, which is an input device for inputting the position on the touch panel by making the input device contact with the touch panel, including an insulating layer (11) having flexibility and optical permeability, and a conductive layer (12) having optical permeability and laminated onto the insulating layer (11), and the input device (10) is integrally formed into a cylindrical shape so that the insulating layer (11) and the conductive layer (12) become a portion to be contacted with the touch panel. Thereby, users less likely to have a sense of wear and tear of fingers, the position pointed by the input device on the touch panel is precisely recognized with ease, the accuracy of the position detected by the touch panel is improved, and input means is less likely to be lost though the input device is lost.
