To enable shared user experiences using augmented reality systems, shared reference points must be provided to have consistent placement (position and orientation) of virtual objects. Furthermore, the position and orientation (pose) of the users must be determinable with respect to the same shared reference points. However, without highly sensitive and expensive global positioning system (GPS) devices, pose information can be difficult to determine to a reasonable level of accuracy. Therefore, what is provided is an alternative approach to determining pose information for augmented reality systems, which can be used to perform location based content acquisition and sharing. Further, what is provided is an alternative approach to determining pose information for augmented reality systems that uses information from already existing GPS devices.

Localization determination for mixed reality systems

The present invention relates generally to electric circuit testing, building, or implementing using a breadboard-style printed circuit board (PCB). Aspects of the present invention include eliminating the need to use hookup wires when building and testing electric circuits on PCBs. In one or more embodiments, a PCB system having rows and columns of signal tie points connected in a breadboard layout and using an embedded wire and a solder bridge to form partial connections between signal tie points may be built. In one or more embodiments, an embedded wire and solder bridge is capable of connecting a column of signal tie points, and/or an embedded wire and solder bridge is capable of connecting a power rail to a signal tie point. Thus, a circuit may be implemented and tested by applying a small amount of solder to the solder bridge without the need for hookup wire.

Systems and methods for breadboard-style printed circuit board

Methods and systems for determining a user's steps in portable device include deriving amplitudes from raw sensor data; comparing the amplitudes to an amplitude threshold, and counting a step when one of the amplitudes exceeds the amplitude threshold to obtain a step count; determining a current gait type based on the step count; dynamically adjusting the amplitude threshold in order to reduce effects of swinging movements and false steps; and applying a post filter to the step count based on time between steps and a minimum number of prior consecutive steps to derive a filtered step count that reduces false readings due to short bursts of rapid movement by the user.
