Adaptive tracking system for spatial input devices
First Claim
1. A system comprising:
- computing hardware of a spatial operating system;
at least one sensor; and
a plurality of display devices,wherein the computing hardware is constructed to model a 6-degree-of-freedom pose and physical size of each of the plurality of display devices by using the at least one sensor,wherein the computing hardware is constructed to generate a coherent model of spatial relationships based on the modeled 6-degree-of-freedom poses and physical sizes of the display devices, andwherein the coherent model of spatial relationships includes a spatial relationship between a first display device of the plurality of display devices and a second display device of the plurality of display devices.

Abstract
An adaptive tracking system for spatial input devices provides real-time tracking of spatial input devices for human-computer interaction in a Spatial Operating Environment (SOE). The components of an SOE include gestural input/output; network-based data representation, transit, and interchange; and spatially conformed display mesh. The SOE comprises a workspace occupied by one or more users, a set of screens which provide the users with visual feedback, and a gestural control system which translates user motions into command inputs. Users perform gestures with body parts and/or physical pointing devices, and the system translates those gestures into actions such as pointing, dragging, selecting, or other direct manipulations. The tracking system provides the requisite data for creating an immersive environment by maintaining a model of the spatial relationships between users, screens, pointing devices, and other physical objects within the workspace.
