Abstract

Neuromotor feedback is provided to a person grasping an automated reality implement that is part of an automated reality system or grasping a video game implement that is part of a video game system. A feedback apparatus attaches to the implement such that the weight a the feedback apparatus is supported entirely by the implement. The feedback apparatus senses positions of the implement, receives one or more signaling inputs provided by the person or by the automated reality system or video game system, and applies one or more external forces to the implement.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A method of providing neuromotor feedback to a person grasping an automated reality implement that is part of an automated reality system during performance of a useful or recreational automated reality function, the method comprising:
 (a) attaching a feedback apparatus to the automated reality implement such that the weight of the feedback apparatus is supported entirely by the automated reality implement;   (b) the feedback apparatus sensing positions of the automated reality implement;   (c) the feedback apparatus receiving one or more signaling inputs provided by the person or the automated reality system; and   (d) the feedback apparatus applying one or more external forces to the automated reality implement.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1  wherein steps (b), (c), and (d) are performed substantially simultaneously. 
     
     
         3 . A method of providing neuromotor feedback to a person grasping a video game implement that is part of a video game system during performance of a video game, the method comprising:
 (a) attaching a feedback apparatus to the video game implement such that the weight of the feedback apparatus is supported entirely by the video game implement;   (b) the feedback apparatus sensing positions of the video game implement;   (c) the feedback apparatus receiving one or more signaling inputs provided by the person or the video game system; and   (d) the feedback apparatus applying one or more external forces to the video game implement.   
     
     
         4 . The method of  claim 3  wherein steps (b), (c), and (d) are performed substantially simultaneously.
