Stylus device

An AR/VR input device include a processor(s), an internal measurement unit (IMU), and a plurality of sensors configured to detect emissions received from a plurality of remote emitters. The processor(s) can be configured to: determine a time-of-flight (TOF) of the detected emissions, determine a first estimate of a position and orientation of the input device based on the TOF of a subset of the detected emissions and the particular locations of each of the plurality of sensors on the input device that are detecting the detected emissions, determine a second estimate of the position and orientation of the input device based on the measured acceleration and velocity from the IMU, and continuously update a calculated position and orientation of the input device within the AR/VR environment in real-time based on a Beyesian estimation (e.g., Extended Kalman filter) that utilizes the first estimate and second estimate.

Input device for AR/VR applications

In certain embodiments, a sensing and tracking system detects objects, such as user input devices or peripherals, and user interactions with them. A representation of the objects and user interactions are then injected into the virtual reality environment. The representation can be an actual reality, augmented reality, virtual representation or any combination. For example, an actual keyboard can be injected, but with the keys pressed being enlarged and lighted.

Systems and methods for configuring a hub-centric virtual/augmented reality environment

In some embodiments, a system comprising one or more processors configured to track a location of an input device within a physical environment via a three-dimensional (3D) tracking system, and modify a tracking parameter of the 3D tracking system while tracking the location of the input device based on the determined location of the input device within the physical environment. The input device may be coupled to a virtual reality display system and tracking the location of the location of the input device can be used for interacting with the virtual reality display system.

Systems and methods for operating an input device in an augmented/virtual reality environment

In some embodiments, an input device for interfacing within an VR/AR environment can include a processor, one or more motion tracking sensors to track a motion of the input device in three-dimensional (3D) space, where a cursor in the VR/AR environment moves based on the tracked motion of the input device in 3D space and is limited to tracked motion having three degrees of freedom (DOF). The input device can further include a button that, when activated, selects an application window in the VR/AR environment when the cursor is placed over the application window, where the application window moves in the VR/AR environment based on the tracked motion of the input device in 3D space while the application window is selected. The input device can include a user interface that, when activated, accesses and controls content on the selected application window.

Input device for VR/AR applications

In some embodiments, a stylus device can be configured for use in an augmented/virtual reality (AR/VR) environment. The stylus device can be configured to be used differently in a right hand or a left hand of a user. Determination of whether the stylus device is used in the left hand or the right hand can be used to improve tracking of the stylus device for use as a control device for the AR/VR environment.

Dominant hand usage for an augmented/virtual reality device

In some embodiments, a stylus device can be configured for use in an augmented/virtual (AR/VR) reality environment and can include a first portion and a second portion, where the first portion of the housing is substantially linear and can be configured to be held by a user's hand while the stylus device is in use. The first portion may include a tip configured to operate as an interface between the stylus device and objects within the AR/VR environment. The second portion of the housing may be non-linear and bent to traverse three dimensions including a section of the second portion that is bent longitudinally toward a line co-linear with the first portion of the housing. In some cases, the second portion of the housing may include a plurality of emitters or sensors configured for facilitating a tracking of the stylus device in three-dimensional space within the AR/VR environment.

Input device for use in an augmented/virtual reality environment

In certain embodiments, a computer mouse includes a chassis to provide support for a user's hand, where the chassis includes a knuckle support region, a palm support region, a first side region having a first ledge to support a thumb, a second side region having a second ledge to support one or more of a pinky or ring finger, and a button region having one or more buttons to support one or more of a tip of an index finger or middle finger. Each region can be physically separated from one another on the surface of the chassis by a gap. The knuckle support region can include a coating or covering on a surface of the knuckle support region to provide a directionally dependent friction. The friction on the surface of the knuckle support region is higher for side-to-side movements then for front-to-back movements.
