METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR VIRTUAL AND AUGMENTED REALITY

摘要

A portable virtual reality and/or augmented reality system enabling the projection and tracking of a user in a simulated environment is described. A system of motion capture cameras, computing, and tracking devices is provided in a portable package. Each tracking device is configured with one or more emitters which may generate a distinctive, repetitive pattern. The virtual reality and/or augmented reality system once assembled, provides for motion tracking and display of a one or more users in a simulated environment.

1. A portable virtual reality turnkey kit, comprising:
a computing device; a plurality of motion tracking cameras, wherein the plurality of motion tracking cameras are configured to detect infrared light and to communicate position data derived from detected infrared light to the computing device; a handheld wireless tracking device comprising a first marker configured to emit a first repetitive pattern of infrared light pulses; a wireless tracking device configured to attach to a head mounted display,
the wireless tracking device comprising at least:
a second marker configured to emit a second repetitive pattern of infrared light pulses, anda third marker configured to emit a third repetitive pattern of infrared light pulses,wherein the second repetitive pattern of infrared light pulses and the third repetitive pattern of infrared light pulses are distinct from each other and from the first repetitive pattern of infrared light pulses; wherein when the portable virtual reality kit, once assembled, is configured to:
receive, at the computing device, from one or more of the plurality of motion tracking cameras position data corresponding to the first marker;based at least in part on the receipt by the computing device of the position data corresponding to the first marker, enable, at least in part, a scene to be rendered in the head mounted display, wherein the scene comprises a display representation of a gloved hand movement synchronized with position changes associated with the handheld wireless tracking device;receive, at the computing device, from one or more of the plurality of motion tracking cameras position data corresponding to the second marker and position data corresponding to the third marker; andbased at least in part on the receipt by the computing device of the second marker position data and the receipt of the third marker position data, enable, at least in part, an orientation of the scene to be rendered in the head mounted display, wherein the orientation of the scene is synchronized with movement of the wireless tracking device in at least five degrees of freedom.
