Louisiana Patent of the Month – July 2024
StrikerVR Inc. has been granted a patent to bring virtual reality to the play field with their latest peripheral device.
Designed to elevate the virtual reality (VR) experience, this device seamlessly integrates advanced touch and pressure-sensitive technology, providing users with unparalleled immersive feedback. The dual-grip setup, equipped with capacitive sensors, detects the user’s hand positions and pressure exerted, ensuring precise in-game actions. Each grip features sensors that generate signals based on touch proximity and pressure, allowing the controller to interpret handedness and force applied by the user. This sophisticated system translates real-world hand movements into the virtual environment with remarkable accuracy, enhancing the realism of the VR experience.
One of the standout features of this device is its haptic feedback system. The haptic actuators, controlled either by an internal or external controller, deliver varied tactile sensations to the user, simulating realistic interactions within the virtual space. Whether gripping, squeezing, or releasing, the device responds with corresponding haptic effects, adding a tangible dimension to virtual actions.
The controller’s capability to distinguish which hand is gripping each part of the device and the pressure applied allows for a more nuanced and responsive VR environment. By generating specific signals based on hand movements and touch intensity, the device can adapt the virtual scenario in real-time, offering a more dynamic and engaging user experience.
StrikerVR’s invention is set to revolutionize how users interact with virtual worlds, offering a level of control and immersion previously unattainable. This peripheral not only enhances gaming but also opens new possibilities for simulations, training programs, and other VR applications, marking a significant leap forward in the evolution of virtual reality technology.
