Abstract
A method for controlling a motion tracking system, including the steps of: digitally processing sound waves detected by a plurality of microphones so as to detect a voice of a user and estimate a first direction of the user; digitally processing electromagnetic waves captured by antennas so as to detect data packets transmitted to a computing apparatus by sensors and estimate second directions of each sensor; digitally averaging the second directions so as to provide an average direction for the sensors; digitally computing a difference between the first direction and the average direction; and starting to digitally track motion of the user based on measurements of each sensor when the computed difference does not exceed a predetermined difference threshold.
