MACHINE VISION HAND AND TOOL TRACKING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240233278 titled 'MACHINE VISION HAND AND TOOL TRACKING

The abstract describes an extended reality system that includes an imaging system to present virtual objects to a user, a machine vision tracking system with a camera to capture images of a user's hand and a tool grasped in the hand, and a processor to track the position and orientation of the hand and tool in physical space. The system also includes an XR controller to manipulate the XR environment based on the position and orientation of the tool and hand.

  • Imaging system presents virtual objects to the user
  • Machine vision tracking system captures images of the user's hand and tool
  • Processor tracks the position and orientation of the hand and tool in physical space
  • XR controller manipulates the XR environment based on the position and orientation of the tool and hand

Potential Applications: - Virtual reality gaming - Training simulations - Industrial design and manufacturing

Problems Solved: - Enhanced user interaction with virtual objects - Improved tracking accuracy of hand and tool movements

Benefits: - Immersive user experience - Increased precision in virtual interactions

Commercial Applications: Title: Enhanced Extended Reality System for Interactive Applications This technology can be used in gaming, training simulations, and industrial design to provide a more immersive and interactive experience for users.

Questions about the technology: 1. How does the machine vision tracking system improve user interaction with virtual objects? - The machine vision tracking system enhances user interaction by accurately tracking the position and orientation of the user's hand and tool in physical space, allowing for precise manipulation of virtual objects.

2. What are the potential limitations of the XR controller in manipulating the XR environment based on the position and orientation of the tool and hand? - The XR controller may face challenges in accurately translating the movements of the tool and hand into the virtual environment, leading to potential discrepancies in interaction.


Original Abstract Submitted

in an example in accordance with the present disclosure, an extended reality system is described. the extended reality system includes an imaging system to present virtual objects to a user. the extended reality system also includes a machine vision tracking system. the machine vision tracking system includes a camera to capture images of a user's hand a tool grasped in the user's hand. the machine vision tracking system also includes a processor. the processor 1) tracks a position and orientation of the user's hand in physical space, 2) identifies the tool grasped in the user's hand, and 3) tracks a position and orientation of the tool in physical space. the extended reality system also includes an xr controller to manipulate the xr environment based on the position and orientation of the tool and the position and orientation of the hand.
