Abstract
One disclosed example provides a method for determining a pose of a handheld object in a surrounding environment. Optical pose data is stored in an image queue of a first filter. IMU data is received from an IMU of the handheld object and stored in an IMU queue of the first filter. Using at least a portion of the optical pose data and the IMU data, an initial pose of the handheld object is determined and outputted. The method determines that either the image queue or the IMU queue is empty. A second filter comprising the one empty queue and the other non-empty queue is instantiated as a copy of the first filter. Using the data from the non-empty queue in the second filter, the initial pose of the handheld object is updated to an updated pose, and the updated pose is outputted.
