Original Abstract Submitted
embodiments are related to providing external device communication and localization for virtual reality based equipment using radio-frequency identification (rfid). at least two receivers and a transmitter are used to recognize an external device and determine a location of the external device relative to the headset, based on tags coupled to the external device. a three-dimensional (3d) model is downloaded of the external device based on information received by the at least two receivers from the tags. a location of the external device is matched to the 3d model based on the tags. a virtual image is displayed of the external device corresponding to the location of the external device.
