PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To notify passers-by of approach of an electric car 10 with less sound. SOLUTION: An approach signal transmitter 2 is mounted on an electric car whose approach is hard to be noticed by passers-by because of low noise during moving, and transmits an approach signal including approach information indicating the approach by utilizing electricity handled as weak radio waves, for example. An approach notification device 3 is carried by a passer-by and has: a reception unit for receiving an approach signal from an electric car and acquiring approach information from the approach signal; and a notification unit for notifying the passer-by carrying the approach notification device of the approach of the electric car with a sound or the like when acquiring the approach signal.

Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide differential trial in augmented reality. SOLUTION: A technique for displaying a virtual object on devices in differential situations is provided. Augmented reality authoring ensures that users have experience consistent with the virtual object including an augmented reality image by delivering the same version of the virtual object to devices that are close in terms, for instance, of at least distance and/or time. Devices that are not sufficiently close can receive different versions of the virtual object, so that it is ensured that the users of the devices that are sufficiently near each other do not experience the different versions of the virtual object.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an estimation device which can precisely estimate a depth position of a virtual object perceived by a user. SOLUTION: The estimation device estimates the depth position of the virtual object perceived by the user in a case that the user makes a force virtually act on the virtual object arranged in an extended reality environment by using a body part or tool. The estimation device has: a measurement means which measures at least one of a position, velocity, and acceleration of the body part or tool and time in a predetermined period before completion of an operation in a case that the user operates the estimation device so that the user makes the force virtually act on the virtual object by using the body part or tool; a generation means which generates a function expressing the operation of the body part or tool by applying a measurement result to a predetermined function; and an estimation means which calculates the position, at which the velocity of the body part or tool becomes a value decided in accordance with a kind of action, and estimates the calculated position as the depth position of the virtual object perceived by the user.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a device and method for forming a silicon sheet by impinging fluid. SOLUTION: This invention relates to techniques for forming crystalline bodies. An example system, a device or method for forming crystalline bodies may include a crucible for containing molten crystalline material and a support for accommodating a seed on an end thereof, the support being movable along a translation axis in a pull direction to draw the seed crystal from a molten crystal, thereby initiating growth of a crystalline body along a growth path. Further examples may include one or more nozzles configured to be coupled to a fluid source, the nozzles being positioned relative to the growth path for shaping the crystal body as the molten crystal is pulled in the pull direction along the growth path.
