PASSIVE LOCATORS FOR A VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSET
First Claim
1. A virtual reality (VR) headset comprising:
- an electronic display configured to present content to a user of the VR headset; and
a plurality of marker groups, each marker group corresponding to a different location on the VR headset and comprising one or more passive locators having positions relative to each other, each passive locator having a reflectance type, and each marker group has a unique reflectance configuration that describes a spatial configuration of the one or more passive locators within the marker group and a reflectance type for each of the one or more passive locators within the marker group;

Abstract
A virtual reality (VR) headset includes a plurality of marker groups each corresponding to a different location on the VR headset. Each marker group includes one or more passive locators having positions relative to each other. Passive locators included in a marker group are configured to reflect one or more bands of light emitted by a source device. A VR system determines positions of passive locators relative to each other in a marker group and bands of light reflected by the passive locators included in the marker group to determine a location on the VR headset. Based on the location on the VR headset, the VR system determines a position of the VR headset and identifies content to provide to the VR headset.

13. A virtual reality (VR) system comprising:
-
an electronic display configured to receive content from a VR system, and present the content to a user of the VR headset; a plurality of marker groups, each marker group corresponding to a different location on the VR headset and comprising one or more passive locators having positions relative to each other, each passive locator having a reflectance type and wherein each marker group has a unique reflectance configuration that describes a number and a spatial configuration of the one or more passive locators within the marker group and a reflectance type for each of the one or more passive locators; and an imaging device configured to capture a series of images of the VR headset, the series of images including at least one of the plurality of marker groups wherein the reflectance configuration of each of the marker groups in the captured series of images determines a location on the VR headset that corresponds to the marker group. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
