Capsule Interface

Overview

The Capsule Interface is an experience-sharing device that directly transmits internal bodily information—such as body movements and force—to other bodies like robots or avatars. It consists of muscle deformation sensors, speakers, and a display, installed on chairs or beds. Users sit or lie down and move slightly to control a remote body. No wearable devices or training are needed. Future plans include proprioceptive feedback and applications in education, entertainment, and healthcare.

Key features

• ▸Transmits body movements and force to robots or avatars
• ▸Non-worn design: no wearable devices, special controls, or training required
• ▸Uses optical measurement method (muscle deformation sensors) for force feedback
• ▸Integrated speakers and display
• ▸Installed on various chairs or beds for use
• ▸Real-time sharing of force feedback along with visual and auditory cues
• ▸Minimally invasive interface less susceptible to electrical noise and sweat
