New Sequential Wave Imprinting Machines Visualize Waves in Real-Space and Real-Time by Augmediating Reality

摘要

New wearable Sequential Wave Imprinting Machines (SWIMs) based on Steve Mann's invention, have been designed, built and used as augmediated reality oscilloscopes, to teach concepts of wavelength measurement in real-time and real-space in an immersive and convincing way, by means of phenomenological augmented reality.;Several new SWIM devices are reported on, which are made to meet objectives of wearability, high luminosity and high resolution. Presented are a wrist-worn SWIM device, as well as a ring-worn SWIM device.;A new modular wearable lock-in-amplifier is presented, which completes a wearable SWIM system allowing for visualization of soundwaves in nearly any setting desired.;A systems level analogy is realized between the concepts of the lock-in-amplifier, and of power measurement.;The idea of an electrical efficiency meter is explored and a combination efficiency meter/lock-in-amplifier has been designed and built which has several advantages over existing power analyzers which are reported on.
