Application: Classifying a discomfort level of a user when interacting with virtual reality (VR) content (Patent ID: US20230414899A1)
The patent filed by Sony Group Corp. describes a method for classifying virtual reality (VR) content for use in head-mounted displays (HMDs. The method involves accessing a model that identifies patterns associated with baseline VR content likely to cause discomfort, generating VR content, extracting data from user interactions with the content, comparing the data to the model to identify discomfort-causing patterns, collecting physiological feedback from the user, determining discomfort levels, classifying the user based on discomfort tolerance, and generating notifications about potential discomfort in the user. The system aims to enhance user experience by identifying and notifying users about VR content that may cause discomfort based on learned patterns and user feedback.
The patent also includes claims for providing recommendations of suitable video game titles based on user discomfort classification, generating notifications for potentially discomfort-causing applications, identifying patterns in user actions or VR content images, determining discomfort thresholds for users, and distinguishing between user discomfort classification and application-designed discomfort classification. The method involves a computer system with a processor and memory executing the described steps, including accessing the model, generating notifications, and providing recommendations based on user discomfort levels. The patent aims to improve user comfort and experience in VR environments by proactively identifying and addressing potential discomfort issues through a systematic classification process.
