Abstract
A method for providing galvanic vestibular stimulation corresponding to accelerations in scenes of a video. Embodiments include (1) receiving a three dimensional video signal including three dimensional video angular velocity information, (2) receiving a three dimensional head orientation signal including three dimensional head angular velocity information, (3) calculating resultant three dimensional angular velocity information based on the video angular velocity information and the head angular velocity information, (4) calculating three dimensional acceleration information based on the resultant three dimensional angular velocity information, and (5) generating three dimensional galvanic vestibular stimulation signals corresponding to the resultant three dimensional angular acceleration information, wherein the three dimensional stimulation signals will stimulate three dimensional acceleration sensations corresponding to accelerations on the user viewing the displayed scenes.
