Panum's area measurement method, apparatus, and wearable display device
A panum's area measurement method includes: projecting a first parallax image of a spatial object to the left eye of a user under test, and projecting a second parallax image of the spatial object to the right eye of the user under test, the first parallax image comprising a first homologous point and the second parallax image comprising a second homologous point; adjusting a horizontal parallax amount between the first homologous point and the second homologous point until the user under test observes the spatial object producing a ghost; acquiring a parallax amount parameter Δn.sub.e; calculating a horizontal physical spacing Δx between the first homologous point and the second homologous point based on the parallax amount parameter Δn.sub.e; and calculating a panum's area range (μ.sub.in, μ.sub.out) of the user under test based on the horizontal physical spacing Δx.
Using a hearable to generate a user health indicator
A hearable comprises at least one microphone coupled with a wearable structure and a sensor processing unit disposed within the wearable structure and coupled with the microphone. A portion of the wearable structure is configured to be disposed within a user's ear. The sensor processing unit acquires audio data from the at least one microphone and head motion data from at least one motion sensor of the sensor processing unit. The head motion data describes motions of the user's head and comprises cranium motion data and mandible motion data. The sensor processing unit separates the mandible motion data from the head motion data, synchronizes the mandible motion data and the audio data into a synchronized data stream; classifies an activity of the head during a portion of the synchronized data stream; and generates a health indicator for the user based on the activity and the synchronized data stream.
Method and device for diagnosing anterior cruciate ligament injury susceptibility
Systems, devices, and methods are disclosed for the purpose of quantitatively determining the susceptibility of a human subject to injure their Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL). A method for determining injury susceptibility scores or risk categories includes determining hip extension angles and knee varus angles during the performance of a stork test and determining hip abduction angles during a squat test. Determination of angles during certain movements may be achieved using various systems and devices, including wearable devices.
