Remotely controlling a self-propelled device in a virtualized environment
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for operating a computing device, the method comprising:
- generating image data by a camera component of the computing device;
programmatically detecting, by the computing device, from the image data, a location of a self-propelled device relative to the computing device;
receiving, at the computing device, input from the self-propelled device, the input including sensor information that is obtained on the self-propelled device; and
generating, on the computing device, content based on the location of the self-propelled device as the self-propelled device moves, wherein the self-propelled device is remote from the computing device.

Abstract
A computing device operating as a controller can obtain image data from a camera component. The computing device can determine a location of the self-propelled device relative to the camera based on the image data. A virtual content may be generated on the computing device based at least in part on the location of the self-propelled device.
