First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining location of a controller, the method comprising:
- capturing image data of a capture area in front of a display;
capturing sound data emitted by the controller in the capture area in front of the display;
calculating a two-dimensional location of the controller based on the captured image data; and
calculating a third dimensional location of the controller based on the captured sound data, wherein operations of the method are executed by a processor.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for determining the location of a controller. One method includes an operation for capturing image data of a capture area in front of a display. Additionally, the method includes another operation for capturing sound data emitted by the controller in the capture area in front of the display. The two-dimensional location of the controller is calculated based on the captured image data, and the third dimensional location of the controller is calculated based on the captured sound data.

20. A system for determining location of a controller, comprising:
-
one or more light emitters facing a capture area in front of a display, the light emitters located near the display; a sound capture device operable to capture sound data emitted by the controller in the capture area in front of the display, wherein the controller includes an image capture device; and a processor in communication with the one or more light emitters and the sound capture device, wherein the processor is operable to; receive image data captured with the image capture device; determine a position of an image of the light emitters within the image captured data; calculate a two-dimensional location of the controller based on the determined position; and calculate a third dimensional location of the controller based on the captured sound data.
