20120215363 | METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR REDUCING VIBRATION OF MOTION-ENABLED CHAIRS - In a building equipped with a plurality of motion-enabled chairs such as a movie theatre, the vibration of the motion-enabled chairs adds up and may damage the foundation of the building especially at the resonance frequency. The present application describes a system and method for controlling the resulting vibration by introducing an alteration such as a delay or an inversion in the motion signals sent to the motion-enabled chairs. This delay causes the vibration of some motion-enabled chairs to be de-phased from the vibration of the other motion-enabled chairs. Whereby, the intensity (magnitude) of the resulting vibration is reduced. Control of the motion-enabled chairs may be done centrally through a central controller, or locally at selected motion-enabled chairs. | 08-23-2012 |

Motion commands generated by the remote control are sent to the remote object for execution. Telemetry data representative of measurements related to the remote object may be captured by a telemetry capture system. A vibro-kinetic encoder generates, using the telemetry data, a vibro-kinetic signal representative of the vibro-kinetic properties of the remote object for rendering on the vibro-kinetic platform. The vibro-kinetic platform may be a motion-enabled chair, or a vibro-kinetic platform having the shape of the remote object for more realistic effect. In an embodiment, the audio and/or video environments of the remote object are also captured and rendered on a feedback system. | 09-20-2012 |
