HAND-HELD CONTROLLER POSE TRACKING SYSTEM - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240221216 titled 'HAND-HELD CONTROLLER POSE TRACKING SYSTEM
The abstract describes a system designed to determine the poses of a pair of hand-held controllers in a physical environment and use these poses as input to control or manipulate a virtual or mixed reality environment. The system may capture image data of the controllers with constellations or patterns, analyze the data to identify points associated with the constellations or patterns, and determine the poses based on this information.
- Utilizes image data of controllers with constellations or patterns
- Identifies points associated with constellations or patterns to determine poses
- Disambiguates the identity of individual controllers based on identified points and stored models
- Allows for control or manipulation of virtual or mixed reality environments using controller poses
- Enhances user interaction and immersion in virtual or mixed reality experiences
Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Training simulations - Interactive art installations - Rehabilitation exercises - Remote collaboration tools
Problems Solved: - Improves accuracy and precision of controller input in virtual environments - Enhances user experience and immersion in virtual or mixed reality settings - Enables more intuitive and natural interactions with virtual objects
Benefits: - Enhanced user experience and immersion - Improved control and manipulation of virtual environments - Increased accuracy and precision in controller input - Facilitates a wide range of applications in gaming, training, art, rehabilitation, and collaboration
Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Controller Pose Detection System for Virtual Environments" This technology could be utilized in various commercial applications such as: - Virtual reality gaming systems - Training and simulation software - Interactive art installations - Rehabilitation and physical therapy tools - Remote collaboration platforms
Questions about the technology: 1. How does the system differentiate between the poses of the two hand-held controllers? 2. What are the potential limitations of using image data for controller pose detection in different lighting conditions?
Original Abstract Submitted
a system configured to determine poses of a pair hand-held controller in a physical environment and to utilize the poses as an input to control or manipulate a virtual environment or mixed reality environment. in some cases, the system may capture image data of the controllers having constellations or patterns. the system may analyze the image data to identify points associated with the constellations or patterns and to determine the poses and disambiguate the identity of the individual controllers based on the identified points and a stored model associated with each controller.
