SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING PLAYER MOVEMENT WITHIN A VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT
A method for controlling player movement within a virtual reality environment involves locating a position of a player within the virtual reality environment. It is then determined if the player is in a desired position within the virtual reality environment. A positive visual indicator is generated to the player if the player is located in the desired position. A negative visual indicator is generated to the player if the player is not located in the desired position.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CREATING A VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT USING MULTIPLE VIRTUAL REALITY SEGMENTS
A system for providing a virtual reality experience includes a plurality of wall panels at a plurality of wall panel locations defining an X by Y area within the interior of the plurality of wall panels. At least one haptic feedback device associated with at least one of the plurality of wall panels for providing haptic feedback to a user. A transition area is associated with the X by Y area. A virtual reality system displays a first virtual reality environment to the user within at least a portion of the X by Y area. The first virtual reality environment defines a first virtual reality pathway for the user within the X by Y area to the at least one haptic feedback device. The virtual reality system displays a second virtual reality environment different from the first virtual reality environment within at least a portion of the X by Y area. The second virtual reality path defining a second virtual pathway for the user within the X by Y area to the at least one haptic feedback device that is different from the first virtual pathway responsive to the user entering the transition area while in the first virtual reality environment.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR HAPTIC MAPPING OF A CONFIGURABLE VIRTUAL REALITY ENVIRONMENT
A system for providing a virtual reality experience includes a plurality of wall panels at a plurality of wall panel locations defining an X by Y area within the interior of the plurality of wall panels. At least one haptic feedback device associated with at least one of the plurality of wall panels for providing haptic feedback to a user. A transition area is associated with the X by Y area. A virtual reality system displays a first virtual reality environment to the user within at least a portion of the X by Y area. The first virtual reality environment defines a first virtual reality pathway for the user within the X by Y area to the at least one haptic feedback device. The virtual reality system displays a second virtual reality environment different from the first virtual reality environment within at least a portion of the X by Y area. The second virtual reality path defining a second virtual pathway for the user within the X by Y area to the at least one haptic feedback device that is different from the first virtual pathway responsive to the user entering the transition area while in the first virtual reality environment.
Method for producing a construction of interconnected wooden panels
A method for producing a constructions having a structural component (100), in particular a wall, a ceiling or the like, formed by a plurality of interconnected wooden panels (1, 2, 3). The wooden panels (1, 2, 3) are connected to one another to produce a structural component (100) which is formed from at least two wooden panels (1, 2, 3).
Interlocking panels
The disclosed interlocking panel systems are portable, self-supporting, and modular. They may function as guards around the sides, rear, and a surface of a workspace and can be disassembled by one person and transported to a sink for cleaning or another location for use or storage. They may also function as structural panels for constructing an enclosure, such as a building.
BOX-SHAPED BUILDING UNIT AND BUILDING
Readily joining CLT panels to obtain a box-shaped building unit.
An orthogonal part of each surface of a rectangular parallelepiped has a structure wherein a surface of edge of lumber 11s of a CLT panel 11 is made abut on an inner main surface 10i of a CLT panel 10 and joined thereto by a joining member 2 so that a surface of edge of lumber 10s of the CLT panel 10 and an outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 are flush. A joining part by the joining member 2 has a structure wherein the surface of edge of lumber 10s and the inner main surface 10i and outer main surface 10o of the CLT panel 10 are opened so that the outer main surface 10o side is wider than the inner main surface 10i side, the surface of edge of lumber 11s and at least the outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 are opened so that the inner side of the CLT panel 11 is wider than the surface of edge of lumber 11s side, and the butterfly joint-shaped joining member 2 is inserted into the opening of the CLT panel 10 and the opening of the CLT panel 11 from the surface of edge of lumber 10s of the CLT panel 10 and the outer main surface 11o of the CLT panel 11 side.
Interface for mounting interchangable components
An interface for mounting interchangeable components and systems and methods implementing the same, including reconfigurable modular wall systems having a plurality of different types of interchangeable wall modules with different types of compatible connection components, each connection component being configured to align with another connection component at an interface to form an interface connection for securing the connection components together with one or more universal connection interface members. The interface is configured for on-demand reconfiguration without laborious alteration to aspects of the walls system, modules, and components thereof. Reconfiguration of modules is facilitated by removing the universal connection interface member from the interface connection, thereby releasing the attachment mechanism and allowing rearrangement of the module(s). Replacement of the universal connection interface member secures the reconfigured modules in place in the rearranged wall system.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR INTERCONNECTING STRUCTURAL PANELS
Building or structural panels may be joined, such as to form walls or floors. The panels may be connected in various orientations via one or more connectors. The connectors may mount to anchors associated with the panels. The panels may have outer skins located over an expanded core comprising a matrix of supporting elongate members and voids or openings, with the anchors located at edges of the panels.
RAPIDLY DEPLOYABLE MODULAR BUILDING SYSTEM
The invention involves using composite panels to a framework to create a standard reusable rapidly deployable building structure, even in remote areas under favourable weather conditions. The invention discloses a minimal set of components, assemblies and methods where logistics are simplified through the use of flat-pack shipping and minimal use of field fasteners/tools. No crane or specialized trades are required to construct the building on site Standardization allows for interchangeability of components for repair or changing of building dimensions either during the initial construction or later. Most components are commercially available materials joined into assemblies using simplified manufacturing operations to reduce costs. Most assemblies, including flanges and cleats connecting adjacent composite panels, rectangular and/or triangular lattice (truss), transom, pier, columns, shear pins with retention means, are re-usable should the building require repairs, re-purposing or relocation. A free-span interior is described maximizing flexibility for arrangement of interior rooms and furnishings.
Method and system for interconnecting structural panels
A panel may be configured with panel mounts by forming a panel connector accepting slot in the panel and then locating connector mounts in the slot. In another embodiment, a panel may be configured with panel connector mounts by milling a panel to leave areas of panel material which form the mounts and milling the panel behind to connector mounts to define areas for accepting portions of the panel connector. Panels having the defined connector mounts may be connected by one or more panel connectors which engage the connector mounts.
