Abstract

Movement data characterizing the movement of a vehicle in which electronic smartglasses are used, are sent by a portable apparatus from a data output to the electronic smartglasses for reducing simulator-sickness-induced impairments. The electronic smartglasses display data taking into account the movement data.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A portable apparatus for reducing simulator-sickness-induced impairments when using electronic smartglasses in a vehicle having an interior, comprising:
an enclosure having a substantially cylindrical shape;
a clamping mechanism configured to interact with a surface of the interior of the vehicle to at least one of wedge and clamp the portable apparatus in the interior of the vehicle; and
a data output configured to transmit movement data characterizing movement of the vehicle to the electronic smartglasses.

2. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the data output includes at least one of a wireless interface and a cable-bound interface providing transmission of the movement data to the electronic smartglasses.

3. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a data input configured to receive the movement data from the vehicle.

4. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the data input includes at least one of a wireless interface and a cable-bound interface receiving transmission of the movement data from the vehicle.

5. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a sensor device configured to capture at least some of the movement data characterizing the movement of the vehicle.

6. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the vehicle has an electrical system, and
wherein the portable apparatus further comprises at least one of an electrical interface to the electrical system of the vehicle and a battery.

7. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the vehicle has at least one drinks holder, and
wherein the mechanism is configured to at least one of wedge and clamp the portable apparatus in one of the at least one drinks holder.

8. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the mechanism includes a screw mechanism configured to widen a region of the portable apparatus adapted to fit within the one of the at least one drinks holder.

9. The portable apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , wherein the mechanism includes a push-push locking mechanism configured to widen a region of the portable apparatus adapted to fit within the one of the at least one drinks holder by compressing the push-push locking mechanism once and to narrow the region by compressing the push-push locking mechanism a second time.

10. A display system for a vehicle having an interior, comprising:
at least one set of electronic smartglasses configured to display at least one of a virtual reality and an augmented reality, including contents corresponding to movement of the vehicle based on movement data; and
a portable apparatus having a substantially cylindrical shape and a clamping mechanism configured to interact with a surface of the interior of the vehicle to at least one of wedge and clamp the portable apparatus in the interior of the vehicle, the portable apparatus configured to reduce simulator-sickness-induced symptoms of a user of the electronic smartglasses in the vehicle, by transmitting the movement data to the electronic smartglasses.

11. The display system as claimed in claim 10 , wherein the portable apparatus further comprises a data input configured to receive the movement data from the vehicle.

12. The display system as claimed in claim 11 , wherein the data input includes at least one of a wireless interface and a cable-bound interface receiving transmission of the movement data from the vehicle.

13. The display system as claimed in claim 10 , further comprising a sensor device configured to capture at least some of the movement data characterizing the movement of the vehicle.

14. The display system as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the vehicle has an electrical system, and
wherein the portable apparatus further comprises at least one of an electrical interface to the electrical system of the vehicle and a battery.

15. The display system as claimed in claim 14 , wherein the vehicle has at least one drinks holder, and
wherein the mechanism is configured to at least one of wedge and clamp the portable apparatus in one of the at least one drinks holder.

16. The display system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the mechanism includes a screw mechanism configured to widen a region of the portable apparatus adapted to fit within the one of the at least one drinks holder.

17. The display system as claimed in claim 15 , wherein the mechanism includes a push-push locking mechanism configured to widen a region of the portable apparatus adapted to fit within the one of the at least one drinks holder by compressing the push-push locking mechanism once and to narrow the region by compressing the push-push locking mechanism a second time.
