Magnetic tracker power duty cycling
First Claim
1. A computer system for augmenting spatial sensor device readings, the system comprising:
- one or more processors; and
one or more computer-readable hardware storage devices having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors configure the computer system to perform at least the following;
cause a first spatial input device to transmit a tracking signal at a reduced rate;
cause a second spatial input device to determine a measurement of the tracking signal;
use a third spatial input device to acquire pose data of the first spatial input device; and
compute a pose of the first spatial input device by at least augmenting the measurement of the tracking signal with the pose data acquired by the third spatial input device.

Abstract
A mixed-reality system for augmenting spatial sensor device readings comprises a first magnetic sensor device configured to transmit a magnetic field signal at a reduced rate relative to a previous transmission rate. The system also comprises a second magnetic sensor device configured to determine a measurement of the magnetic field signal. The measurement indicates a pose estimation of the first magnetic sensor device. Additionally, the system comprises a third spatial input device configured to acquire pose data of the first spatial input device through means other than the magnetic field signal. Further, the system comprises one or more processors configured to compute a pose of the first magnetic sensor device by at least augmenting the measurement of the magnetic field signal with the pose data acquired by the other spatial input device.
