The processing unit is configured to process a signal from the imaging unit and generate second image information. The display unit is configured to display an image that is based on the signal from the processing unit. The pupil detection unit is configured to detect vector information of a pupil. The processing unit generates the second image information by processing the first image information based on the vector information on the pupil.

Aspects of the technology employ synchronized arrays of low-cost, readily available vibration actuators to emulate and outperform single actuator systems, bringing together sets of actuators to create desired control effects. This approach involves coherent phase switching and modulation of a linear actuator array. A pair of linear resonant actuators (LRAs) may be employed for improved haptic waveform synthesis performance. According to one feature, energy may stored in the mechanical inertia of the LRA via velocity and stiffness of the LRA via displacement and released through modulation of the relative phase of the LRAs. Phase switching and modulation techniques may be used to control more than two LRAs, and in other arrangements than a dual LRA, including, but not limited to architectures that have LRAs arranged in multiple directions in an array spanning, for example, the two dimensions of a plane, or three dimensions of physical space.

More realistic experiences can be provided to a user through the use of a wearable suit. The xR wearable suit may include materials with adjustable characteristics, such as friction, and electronics for controlling the materials to provide feedback to the user wearing the xR suit. In an xR game, the materials may be used to translate virtual damage to physical constraints on the user. For example, when an avatar gets shot in the leg and is debilitated, the user's leg motion can be constricted to understand that shortcoming and stay in sync with the avatar. Examples of such feedback materials include inflating ribs, sheet jamming, and mechanical devices.

The invention concerns a method of forming a graphene device, the method comprising: forming a graphene film (100) over a substrate; depositing, by gas phase deposition, a polymer material covering a surface of the graphene film (100); and removing the substrate from the graphene film (100), wherein the polymer material forms a support (102) for the graphene film (100).

An electronic device, while the electronic device is worn over a predefined portion of the user's body, displays, via a display generation component arranged on the electronic device opposite the predefined portion of the user's body, a graphical representation of an exterior view of a body part that corresponds to the predefined portion of the user's body. The electronic device detects a change in position of the electronic device with respect to the predefined portion of the user's body. The electronic device, in response to detecting the change in the position of the electronic device with respect to the predefined portion of the user's body, modifies the graphical representation of the exterior view of the body part that corresponds to predefined portion of the user's body in accordance with the detected change in position of the electronic device with respect to the predefined portion of the user's body.

The haptic effects are encoded as a haptic effect pattern that identifies a start time and duration for each of the haptic effects.

A system and method for facilitating a user defined virtual space is disclosed. One or more virtual space locations and/or activities may be correlated with user specified geolocations. In some implementations, the user specified geolocations may be verified against one or more spatial requirements prior to recording the user selected space-geolocation correlations. A user request to initiate an action or activity in the virtual space may be received. Prior to executing the requested action or activity in the virtual space, the user current geolocation may be verified against that specified in a space-geolocation correlation corresponding to a virtual space location or activity indicated in the user request.
