Abstract
Systems are provided that include a wireless hand-held inertial controller with passive optical and inertial tracking in a slim form-factor. These systems are configured for use with a head mounted virtual or augmented reality display device (HMD) that operates with six degrees of freedom by fusing (i) data related to the position of the controller derived from a forward-facing optical sensor located in the HMD with (ii) data relating to the orientation of the controller derived from an inertial measurement unit located in the controller.
