A sensor apparatus includes a mannequin to emulate a human body part. The mannequin includes a core that emulates flexibility of a substantially inflexible skeletal portion of the body part, and a pliant covering. The pliant covering includes a pliant three-dimensional surface that emulates contours of an epidermis of the body part, and at least one pliant three-dimensional interior portion to emulate resiliency of a pliant portion of the body part. At least one pressure sensor is arranged between the three-dimensional surface and the core to sense pressure applied against the pliant three-dimensional surface.

A user interface for rotating imagery among a plurality of canonical views of a geographic area of interest is disclosed. The interface includes at least one rotation control icon for rotating the imagery among a plurality of canonical views of the geographic area, and a direction indicating portion that indicates a compass direction associated with the canonical view presented on the display device. In particular implementations, the interface can be configured to come into view over the imagery whenever a user navigates to a particular view of the imagery where a plurality of canonical views is available. The motion of the navigation control interface appearing into the imagery is intended to draw attention to the control interface to inform the user that additional canonical views are available.

Embodiments generally relate to a computer implemented method of facilitating learning, the method comprising receiving, at a computing device, data indicative of a user profile, the user profile being associated with a user level; receiving, at a computing device, data indicative of user interaction with an identification tag, wherein the data comprises an identification code; identifying an object type associated with the identification code; determining an interaction response level based on the user level associated with the user profile; determining a response to be delivered to the user based on the object type and the interaction response level; and causing the response to be delivered to the user.

A color wheel having a plurality of pieces is disclosed. Selected brick pieces may be stacked upon each other side-by-side and a viewing apparatus laid upon the stacked brick pieces. The viewing apparatus may have a viewing window which can be adjusted in order to adjust the percentage of each of the brick pieces being viewed through the viewing window of the viewing apparatus to provide for a more accurate perception of how the selected colored pieces will be perceived when implemented in a brick building.

A teaching and demonstration tool for simulating fabric construction, which is used for demonstrating the fabric construction and assisting in teaching and designing fabric constructions. The teaching and demonstration tool includes a frame body for fixing the warp strips (6) and weft strips (7), and a plurality of pairs of positioning members (3). The frame body includes longitudinal bars (1) and latitudinal bars (2). A plurality of warp strips (6) and weft strips (7) are fixed on the longitudinal bars (1) and the latitudinal bars (2) respectively by the plurality of positioning members (3). Both the longitudinal bars and latitudinal bars (1, 2) are provided with scale lines.

A system is provided for marketing bedding. The system includes a plurality of air velocity displays each having a body defining a chamber and an opening that is in communication with the chamber, an air flow generator positioned within the chamber, and a sample material that covers the opening such that air flow created by the air flow generator passes through the sample material. The system includes plurality of selection modules. The selection modules each having a user interface that is in communication with one of the air velocity displays such that engaging a feature of one of the user interfaces will cause one of the air flow generators to move from an off position to an on position to create airflow. Methods of use are provided.
