Biometric enabled virtual reality (VR) systems and methods are disclosed for detecting user intention(s) and modulating virtual avatar control based on the user intention(s) for creation of virtual avatar(s) or object(s) in holographic space, two-dimensional (2D) virtual space, or three-dimensional (3D) virtual space. A virtual representation of an intended motion of a user corresponding to an intention of muscle activation of the user is determined based on analysis of a biometric signal data of the user as collected by a biometric detection device. The virtual representation of the intended motion is used to modulate virtual avatar control or output to create at least one of a virtual avatar representing aspect(s) of the user or an object manipulated by the user in a holographic space, virtual 2D space, or virtual 3D space. The avatar or the object is created based on: (1) the biometric signal data of a user, or (2) user-specific specifications as provided by the user.

A biofeedback virtual reality (VR) system and methods are provided for improving, optimizing, or minimizing the physiological or psychological effects of a medical condition, such as a physiological or psychological condition of a patient. The biofeedback VR System monitors one or more physiological parameters while presenting an immersive VR environment. The system and method comprise a closed-loop biofeedback system where a user (i.e., patient) observes a VR Experience provided by the VR System. The VR System monitors one or more physiological parameters while guiding the user to an improved (or optimized) physiological state through improvement of one or more of the physiological parameters. In some embodiments, a social experience is included in the VR where the user engages with one or more other users in the VR Experience.

A system and method are provided for patient monitoring. The system and method may receive measurement data comprising measured values of physiological parameters of a patient at consecutive time instances. On a display, a trend view 510 may be provided which provides a longitudinal visualization of the measurement data by setting out the measured values of a first set of the physiological parameters at the consecutive time instances against a common timeline. Simultaneously with the trend view, a patient status view 500 may be provided which provides a visualization of a physiological state of the patient and which visualization is adapted to the measured values of a second set of the physiological parameters at a select time instance. The trend view and the patient status view may be dynamically linked by, when user input is received which is indicative of a selection of a past time instance, adapting the visualization of the physiological state to the measurements of the second set physiological parameters at the past time instance.

During a first time period and for a first user, a second user is automatically selected based on competitive data of the first user and competitive data of the second user, and a workout selection is sent to cause a video of a workout to be displayed during a second time period on a smart mirror of the first user and a smart mirror of the second user. During the second time period, a live stream of the first user exercising is displayed at the smart mirror of the second user, and a live stream of the second user exercising is received and displayed at the smart mirror of the first user. During the second time period, a performance score of the first user and a performance score of the second user is displayed at the smart mirrors of the first user and the second user.

A trajectory is determined for inserting a patient into an MR scanner. An avatar representing specific body dimensions is provided. The avatar includes location information relating to an implant. A spatial magnetic field gradient data set relating to the scanner is provided. An avatar pose at a starting point of the trajectory is defined, and a course for the trajectory is provided. For several points on the trajectory, the corresponding magnetic field value are determined by combining the spatial magnetic field gradient data set with the avatar pose. The trajectory and/or the avatar pose are determined so that the at least one implant only passes regions within the MR scanner that are below a predetermined threshold value concerning the magnetic field gradient.

A mobile system for measuring opticokinetic nystagmus in a subject includes a display screen to provide an opticokinetic stimulus and an imaging system to record eye movement data of the subject. The mobile system is configured to compare the stimulus and the recorded eye movement data to provide objective vision acuity testing.

A system for visualizing and guiding a surgical device having a first imaging device of a first type and has a first image output. The first imaging device is positioned to image an area being subject to surgery. A second imaging device of a second type has a second image output. The second imaging device is positioned to image an area being subject to surgery. A computer is coupled to receive the first and second image outputs and a computer software program, resident in the computer receives and displays information received from the surgical device and/or for guiding the operation of the surgical device and for generating a graphic user interface including selectable menu and submenu items. The surgical device is coupled to the computer.

A user interface for an interactive exercise system includes a display module held by a mechanical support system, with the display module able to display a video of a trainer. The trainer can be presented in full body view against a black background and a mirror element attached to at least partially cover the display module.

A device and related method for determining a physiological characteristic of a user, the device including a case having a display disposed on a major face of the case, the case containing a motion sensor configured to measure a signal representative of the physiological characteristic of the user when the case is in contact with the user's body, and a processor configured to receive data characteristic of the signal from the motion sensor, process the data from the motion sensor to determine the physiological characteristic, compare the processed data to at least one of a predetermined threshold or a pattern to determine a quality thereof, and provide feedback to the user to suggest an action by the user to improve a quality of the signal measurement, when the determined quality of the processed data is below a quality associated with the predetermined threshold or pattern.

A method is disclosed including receiving from a user a request to associate an avatar in a computer-implemented virtual world with a wearable device, creating an association between the avatar and the wearable device in response to the request, and receiving from the wearable device activity metric data for the user generated by a sensor of the wearable device. The activity metric data is generated by the wearable device in response to the wearable device sensing the user performing an activity. The method further including determining based on the received activity metric data a type of the sensed activity, determining at least one attribute of the avatar that corresponds to the determined type of the activity, determining an amount to adjust the at least one attribute based on the received activity metric data, and adjusting the determined at least one attribute of the avatar by the determined amount.
