Nintendo patent: handheld device with infrared camera/distance sensor
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 38 Comments
Since September 2014, Nintendo has been filing patent applications in Japan for a handheld device with infrared camera/distance sensor. These are now being published in the west as well.
The first patent is about how objects/user’s hand gets detected, whereas the other ones are more about the concept. The third is also similar to the second patent, but emphasizes how gestures/distance can trigger vibration and sound output. Infrared camera and distance sensor, gesture recognition, and distance measuring are all a part of the patents. One example even includes a projector and GPS receiver.
If you’d like to read more about these recent patents, head on over here.
