METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR MITIGATING MOTION SICKNESS OF USERS IN A MOVING VEHICLE

PREAMBLE OF THE DESCRIPTION:

[0001] The following specification particularly describes the invention and the manner in which it is to be performed.

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION:

TECHNICAL FIELD

10002] The present disclosure generally relates to an eyewear device. Particularly, but not exclusively, the disclosure relates to a method and system for mitigating motion sickness of users in a moving vehicle.

BACKGROUND OF THE DISCLOSURE

[0003] Motion sickness, for example nausea or queasiness, is a commonly experienced problem for people while riding as passengers in any type of moving vehicle. It occurs because of a mismatched sensation with an occurrence of movement received to the perceived movement. For example, a passenger travelling along a winding road in a vehicle experiences linear and angular acceleration as the vehicle travels along the curve. The response to the acceleration caused by the motion of the vehicle will not match the visual perception of the user who may experience the symptoms of motion sickness. Further, motion sickness may be caused and/or exacerbated for the passenger by other factors. For example, reading a book, viewing a video in the vehicle, etc., may induce or heighten feelings of dizziness, nausea, or motion sickness generally.

[0004] Virtual Reality (VR) or Augmented Reality (AR) techniques have gained popularity and ubiquity in society as the quality of the technology has increased and the price for equipment has decreased. Typically, VR is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world. VR uses VR devices to allow users to experience and interact with a virtual environment. For the same reasons described above, in-vehicle VR and AR have also gained popularity. However, problems related to motion sickness still prevails during use of VR devices in the vehicle. Existing systems do not prevent motion sickness with in-vehicle VR systems and these existing systems fail to compensate for differences between occurred movement(s) experienced in the vehicle compared to the perceived movement of the vehicle. Further, no provisions are provided for sharing a virtual reality experience with remote users while travelling in the vehicle. Thus, there is a requirement for an efficient technique to prevent motion sickness with the use of VR devices in a moving vehicle.

[0007] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the real-time data obtained from the one or more sensors comprises speed and vehicle trajectory, estimated travel time, real-time traffic, climate controls, navigation details, media, head unit functions, autonomous driving commands and social experiences.

[0008] In an embodiment of the disclosure, the motion change comprises rotating the virtual reality content in one or more directions based on the motion change in the vehicle.

[0009] In an embodiment of the disclosure, sharing of the virtual reality content comprises providing the remote user with an access to the virtual reality content and enabling a communication between the user and the remote user during a shared virtual reality session.

10010] In another non-limiting embodiment of the disclosure, there is provided a motion mitigating reality device for mitigating motion sickness of a user travelling in a vehicle. The motion mitigating reality device comprises a processor and a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, where the memory stores processor executable instructions, which, on execution, may cause the motion mitigation reality device to receive an information related to a destination location from a user present in the vehicle. The motion mitigation reality device is worn by the user and is enabled to share virtual reality content displayed in the motion mitigation reality device with a second virtual reality device associated with a remote user. The motion mitigating reality device obtains real-time data related to movement of the vehicle in a physical environment while travelling in a route leading to the destination location from one or more sensors configured in the vehicle and a user device associated with the user. Further, the motion mitigation reality system detects a motion change in the vehicle based on the obtained real-time data. Thereafter, the motion mitigation system performs the motion change onto the displayed virtual reality content similar to the motion change detected in the vehicle to mitigate the motion sickness.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0018] While the embodiments in the disclosure are subject to various modifications and alternative forms, specific embodiment thereof has been shown by way of example in the figures and will be described below. It should be understood, however that it is not intended to limit the disclosure to the particular forms disclosed, but on the contrary, the disclosure is to cover all modifications, equivalents, and alternative falling within the scope of the disclosure.

[0019] It is to be noted that a person skilled in the art would be motivated from the present disclosure and may modify various configurations of circuits, system, architecture and method of updating vehicle functions, which may vary from application to application. However, such modification should be construed within the scope and spirit of the present disclosure. Accordingly, the drawings show only those specific details that are pertinent to understand the embodiments of the present disclosure so as not to obscure the disclosure with details that will be readily apparent to those of ordinary skill in the art having benefit of the description herein.

[0020] The terms "comprises", "comprising", or any other variations thereof used in the disclosure, are intended to cover a non-exclusive inclusion, such that a device, system, method that comprises a list of components does not include only those components but may include other components not expressly listed or inherent to such system, or assembly, or device.

[0021] The present disclosure provides a method and a motion mitigation reality device for mitigating motion sickness of a user travelling in a vehicle. Particularly, the motion mitigation reality device alleviates motion sickness of the user while wearing a virtual reality device/headset (herein referred as the motion mitigation reality device) while travelling in the vehicle. The user in the vehicle is enabled to share virtual reality content with a second virtual reality device of a remote user. The remote user may be located anywhere outside the vehicle capable of connecting with the user inside the vehicle. When the user is travelling in the vehicle, the motion mitigation reality device receives information regarding destination location from the user. As the vehicle moves, real-time data is obtained for movement of the vehicle in a physical environment in the route leading to a destination location. In case if motion sickness is detected in the vehicle based on the obtained real-time data, the motion mitigation reality device performs the motion change onto the virtual reality content displayed in the motion mitigation reality device similar to motion change detected in the vehicle. Thus, compensating difference between occurred movement experienced in the vehicle to the perceived movement of the vehicle to mitigate the motion sickness of the users. Thus, the present disclosure provides an efficient virtual reality experience to users by mitigating the motion sickness of the user.

[0022] The following paragraphs describe the present disclosure with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4. In the figures, the same element or elements which have same functions are indicated by the same reference numbers. It is to be noted that, the vehicle is not completely illustrated in the figures for the purpose of simplicity. One skilled in the art would appreciate that the method as disclosed in the present disclosure may be used for providing dynamic ride sharing service.

[0023] Fig.1 illustrates an exemplary environment for mitigating motion sickness of a user travelling in a vehicle in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0024] As shown in Fig.1, an environment 100 includes a motion mitigation reality device 101. The motion mitigation reality device 101 is connected through a communication network 109 to a vehicle 103 and a user device 105. In an embodiment, the vehicle 103 may be any automobile. The vehicle 103 may include autonomous vehicle. The vehicle 103 includes sensing unit 107. In an embodiment, the vehicle 103 may include any other units/components not shown explicitly herein. The sensing unit 107 may include one or more sensors configured at different locations in the vehicle 103. The one or more sensors may include, but not limited to, 360-degree camera, Light Detection and Ranging (LIDAR), control unit, climate sensor and the like. A person skilled in the art would understand that, any other vehicle sensors, not mentioned explicitly, may also be used to obtain vehicle information in the present disclosure. Further, the user device 105 may be associated with a user sitting in the vehicle 103. User in this document refers to one or more passengers of a vehicle. The user device may include but not limited to, for example, smart phones, tablets, IOT device and the like. The user device 105 is used for obtaining inertial measurements from Inertial Measurement Unit (IMU) sensors present in the user device 105. Further, the communication network 109 may include, but is not limited to, a direct interconnection, an e-commerce network, a Peer-to-Peer (P2P) network, Local Area Network (LAN), Wide Area Network (WAN), wireless network (for example, using Wireless Application Protocol), Internet, Wi-Fi and the like.

[0025] The motion mitigation reality device 101 is configured to provide virtual reality experience to the user and for mitigating motion sickness of the user in the vehicle 103. In an embodiment, the motion mitigation reality device 101 may be a virtual reality device such as, a virtual reality headset or any equivalent thereof. Thus, the motion mitigation reality device 101 may be worn by the user.

[0026] Further, the motion mitigation reality device 101 may include a sensing unit 115 which may include sensors such as IMU sensor, at least one Central Processing Unit ("CPU" or "processor") 113 and a memory 111 for storing instructions executable by the at least one processor 113. The processor 113 may include at least one data processor for executing program components for executing user or system-generated requests. The memory 111 is communicatively coupled to the processor 113.

10027] The motion mitigation reality device 101 is initiated to receive information regarding a destination location from the user on detecting movement of the vehicle 103. For instance, the user may input the destination location into a navigation system of the vehicle 103. Thus, the motion mitigation reality device 101 may extract route details from the map navigation system of the vehicle 103. The user in the vehicle 103 uses the motion mitigation reality device 101 for a virtual experience while travelling the vehicle 103. In one embodiment, the motion mitigation reality device 101 is configured to enable the user to share a virtual reality content displayed in the motion mitigation reality device 101 with a second virtual reality device associated with a remote user. The sharing is enabled by providing the remote user with an access to the virtual reality content and enabling a communication between the user and the remote user during a shared virtual reality session. For example, the user may be watching a movie on an augmented screen created in the motion mitigation reality device 101 and wishes to share the movie experience with another user at the remote location. In such case, the user may be enabled to select a contact associated with the remote user from the motion mitigation reality device 101. The remote user may appear as an avatar in the virtual reality session.

[0028] Further, as the vehicle 103 moves, the motion mitigation reality device 101 obtains real-time data related to movement of the vehicle 103. Particularly, the movement of the vehicle 103 in a physical environment associated with the route leading to the destination location. The real-time data is received from the sensing unit 107 configured in the vehicle 103 and the user device 105 associated with the user. Based on the obtained real-time data, the motion mitigation reality device 101 detects a motion change in the vehicle 103. For instance, the motion change in the vehicle 103 may include, a change in a direction of the movement of the vehicle 103 for example, left/right turn, a U-turn and the like. Therefore, the motion mitigation reality device 101 performs a motion change onto the displayed virtual reality content similar to the motion change which are detected in the vehicle 103. In an embodiment, the motion change on the displayed virtual reality content may include rotating the virtual reality content in one or more directions based on the motion change in the vehicle. For instance, consider the vehicle 103 makes a left turn. In such a case, the virtual reality scene also rotates to left so that there is no disparity between the virtual motion of the scene inside the virtual reality and physical motion of the vehicle.

[0029] Fig.2 shows a detailed block diagram of a motion mitigation reality device in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0030] The motion mitigation reality device 101 may include data 200 and one or more modules 209 which are described herein in detail. In an embodiment, data 200 may be stored within the memory 111. The data 200 may include, for example, location data 201, sensor data 203, virtual reality session data 205 and other data 207 related to the invention.

[0031] The location data 201 may include information regarding destination location of the user while travelling in the vehicle 103. The information may include route details, estimated travel time to the destination location and the like.

[0032] The sensor data 203 may include sensor information from the sensing unit 107 of the vehicle 103. The sensor data 203 may include, vehicle cluster information including speed and vehicle trajectory information, traffic information, vehicle orientation, direction and the like. Further, the sensor data 203 may include data such as, inertial measurements obtained from the sensing unit 115 of the motion mitigation reality device 101 and the user device 105.

[0033] The virtual reality session data 205 may include virtual scene created based on the destination location of the user. The virtual reality session data 205 may include one or more motion change performed on the virtual reality content.

[0034] The other data 207 may store data, including temporary data and temporary files, generated by modules 209 for performing the various functions of the motion mitigation reality device 101.

[0035] In an embodiment, the data 200 in the memory 111 are processed by the one or more modules 209 present within the memory 111 of the motion mitigation reality device 101. In an embodiment, the one or more modules 209 may be implemented as dedicated units. As used herein, the term module refers to an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), an electronic circuit, a field-programmable gate arrays (FPGA), Programmable System-on-Chip (PSoC), a combinational logic circuit, and/or other suitable components that provide the described functionality. In some implementations, the one or more modules 209 may be communicatively coupled to the processor 113 for performing one or more functions of the motion mitigation reality device 101. The said modules 209 when configured with the functionality defined in the present disclosure will result in a novel hardware.

[0036] In one implementation, the one or more modules 209 may include, but are not limited to, a receiving module 211, a data obtaining module 213, a motion detection module 215and a virtual content rendering module 217. The one or more modules 209 may also include other modules 219 to perform various miscellaneous functionalities of the motion mitigation reality device 101. In an embodiment, the other modules 219 may include a sharing module for enabling the user to share the virtual reality content with the second virtual reality device of the remote user.

[0037] The receiving module 211 may receive the information regarding the destination location of the users. The information may include the route details for the destination location. Further, the receiving module 211 may also receive the real-time sensor data from the sensing unit 107 of the vehicle 103 and the user device 105.

[0038] The data obtaining module 213 may obtain real-time data from the sensing unit 107 configured in the vehicle 103 and the user device 105. The real-time data may be related to the movement of the vehicle 103 in the physical environment while travelling in the route leading to the destination location. The real-time data may include, but not limited to, the speed and vehicle trajectory, estimated travel time, real-time traffic, climate controls, navigation details, media, head unit functions, autonomous driving commands and social experiences.

[0039] The motion detection module 215 may detect the motion change in the vehicle 103 based on the real-time data obtained from the sensing unit 107 configured in the vehicle 103 and the user device 105. For instance, the motion detection module 215 may detect if the vehicle 103 makes a left/right turn, U-turn and the like.

[0040] The virtual content rendering module 217 may render the virtual content on the motion mitigation reality device 101 based on the motion detection. Particularly, on detection of the motion change, the virtual content rendering module 217 may perform similar motion change onto the displayed virtual reality content which are detected in the vehicle 103 in order to mitigate the motion sickness. Thus, the user experiences similar motion change in the virtual reality as well.

[0041] Fig.3 shows an exemplary representation of an in-vehicle virtual reality device for mitigation motion sickness of a user in accordance with some embodiments of the present disclosure.

[0042] Referring now to Fig.3 an exemplary representation 300 of a user 302 travelling in a vehicle i.e. a car 301 is illustrated. The exemplary representation 300 includes the car 301, the user 302 inside the car 301, a motion mitigation reality device 304 worn by the user 302, a sensing unit 306 of the car 301 and a user device i.e., a mobile phone 305 of the user 302. In an embodiment, the user 302 may be seated at front row or back row of the car while travelling in the car 301.

[0043] Consider the user 302 is seated at the front row of the car 301 and provides destination information to a navigation system of the car 301 in order to start the travel. While seating in the car 301, the user 302 start a virtual session by wearing the motion mitigation reality device 304. The virtual session may be related to entertainment (such as, movie, gaming etc.), utility such as, navigation, and the like. In an embodiment, the motion mitigation reality device 304 may be configured to enable the user 302 to share the virtual reality content with a second virtual reality device of a remote user 307 as shown in Fig.3. For instance, consider the user 302 may select a movie which starts playing in the motion mitigation reality device 304. The user 302 may wish to share the movie with the remote user 307 located away from the user 302. In an embodiment, on selecting the remote user 307, the remote user 307 may appear as an avatar in the virtual scene and the motion mitigation reality device 304 may enable the user 302 and the remote user 307 to communicate while viewing the movie.

[0044] Further, the motion mitigation reality device 304 may fetch route information from the navigation system of the car 301 to recreate the virtual session based on the destination information of the user 302.

[0045] As the car 301 moves, the motion mitigation reality device 304 may obtain real-time data related to movement of the car 301 while travelling in a route leading to the destination location from the sensing unit 306 and the mobile phone 305 of the user 302. The sensing unit 306 may include, but not limited to a 360-degree camera, a LIDAR and the like. Based on the real-time data, the motion mitigation reality device 304 detects any motion change in the car 301. Consider the car 301 takes a right turn. In such case, the motion mitigation reality device 304 may rotate displayed virtual reality content towards right in order to mitigate the motion sickness.

[0046] For instance, consider the user 302 is sitting in a living room and watching a movie. The user 302 may have a control to play or pause the movie. Consider, the car 301 is travelling in a winding path and experiences a linear and an angular acceleration as the car 301 travels along curves. Thus, in such case, any turns by the car 301 may cause the living room scene to be rotated according to the motion change in the car 301.This eliminates disparity between the virtual rotation of the scene inside the motion mitigation reality device 304 and the real-time physical movement of the car 301. In an embodiment, the mobile phone 305 may be connected with a server. In an embodiment, applications running on the motion mitigation reality device 304 may act as a client and connect to the server for latest IMU data. In such case, the applications may find a difference between the rotation measured by IMU of the mobile phone and the motion mitigation reality device 304. Hence, the motion mitigation reality device 304 rotates the virtual scene with the measured amount of rotation and ensuring tha the screen is in correct/ideal position to the user 302.

100521 At block 405, the motion change based on the obtained real-time data is detected by the motion detection module 215.

10053] At block 407, the motion change is performed by the virtual content rendering module 217 onto the displayed virtual reality content similar to the motion change detected in the vehicle 103 to mitigate the motion sickness.
