Fiducial rings in virtual reality
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- a fiducial ring including;
a ring body that includes a plurality of fiducial markers that each are positioned at different locations on the ring body and each are active devices emitting light, the ring body configured to fit on a portion of a user'"'"'s finger;
an imaging device configured to capture one or more images of the fiducial ring by capturing the light emitted from at least one of the fiducial markers; and
a console comprising a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to;
receive the one or more images from the imaging device, the one or more images including an image with a fiducial marker, of the plurality of fiducial markers,determine a location on the fiducial ring that corresponds to the imaged fiducial marker,determine a position of the fiducial ring based at least in part on the determined location of the fiducial marker on the fiducial ring, andprovide content to a head-mounted display (HMD) based on the determined position of the fiducial ring.

Abstract
A virtual reality system enables a user to interact with virtual objects. The system includes a fiducial ring, an imaging device and a console. The fiducial ring includes a ring body that includes a plurality of fiducial markers that each correspond to a different location on the ring body. An imaging device is configured to capture one or more images of the fiducial ring. The console receives the images that include an image of one or more fiducial markers. Based on the received images of the fiducial markers, the console determines a location on the fiducial ring that corresponds to the imaged fiducial marker. The console determines a position of the fiducial ring based on the determined location of the fiducial marker on the fiducial ring. The console provides content to a head mounted display (HMD) based on the determined position of the fiducial ring.
