Abstract:
1. A user interface device for a vibroacoustic bath, the user interface device comprising: a resistive touchscreen device configured to display images and to receive touch input via a panel of the resistive touchscreen device, wherein the resistive touchscreen device is configured to display at least one image for use in controlling the vibroacoustic bath, the resistive touchscreen further configured to receive a user selection relating to the image; and a control circuit configured to cause the resistive touchscreen device to display a plurality of vibroacoustic experience themes, each of the vibroacoustic experience themes corresponding to a different stored audio file defining a different pattern of vibratory and aural stimuli; wherein the control circuit is configured to select one of the stored audio files in response to a user selection of the corresponding vibroacoustic experience theme via the resistive touchscreen device and to use the selected audio file to generate a multichannel signal comprising a plurality of coordinated channels including at least one vibratory channel and at least one audio channel; wherein the control circuit is configured to provide the at least one vibratory channel to a set of vibratory transducers configured to generate a vibratory stimulus within water contained in the vibroacoustic bath by vibrating a wall of the vibroacoustic bath and to provide the at least one audio channel to a set of audio transducers configured to generate an aural stimulus using the vibroacoustic bath; wherein the control circuit is configured to coordinate operation of the vibratory transducers and the audio transducers using the multichannel signal to produce a vibroacoustic experience corresponding to the user-selected vibroacoustic experience theme in which the vibratory stimulus and the aural stimulus are coordinated.
