TRACKING AND DRIFT CORRECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18654595 titled 'TRACKING AND DRIFT CORRECTION
- Simplified Explanation:
The patent application describes a system that enhances user interfaces for interacting with virtual environments by using image sensors to determine the position and orientation of devices.
- Key Features and Innovation:
- The system uses an image sensor on a first device to determine the relative position of a second device based on a marker displayed on the second device's display. - The first device then displays a representation of the second device with virtual content in place of the marker, creating a more immersive experience.
- Potential Applications:
- Virtual reality gaming - Augmented reality applications - Remote collaboration and communication tools
- Problems Solved:
- Enhances user experience in virtual environments - Improves accuracy of device positioning in virtual space
- Benefits:
- More intuitive and interactive user interfaces - Enhanced immersion in virtual environments - Improved accuracy in device positioning
- Commercial Applications:
- This technology could be used in gaming, education, training, and various industries that rely on virtual environments for simulation and visualization purposes.
- Questions about the Technology:
1. How does this system improve user interaction with virtual environments? 2. What are the potential limitations of using image sensors for device positioning in virtual space?
- Frequently Updated Research:
- Stay updated on advancements in image sensor technology and virtual reality applications to enhance the system's capabilities and performance.
Original Abstract Submitted
Some implementations provide improved user interfaces for interacting with a virtual environment. The virtual environment is presented by a display of a first device having an image sensor. The first device uses the image sensor to determine a relative position and orientation of a second device based on a marker displayed on a display of the second device. The first device uses the determined relative position of the second device to display a representation of the second device including virtual content in place of the marker.
