Abstract
A tracking system includes light sources arranged spatially around user-interaction controller(s) of head-mounted device; a controller-pose-tracking means is arranged in the user-interaction controller(s); an HMD-pose-tracking means and camera(s) arranged on a portion of HMD that faces a real-world environment. Processor(s) are configured to estimate a relative pose of the controller(s) with respect to the HMD, determine current value and/or pulse width modulation (PWM) value to be employed for controlling brightness of light source(s) from amongst the light sources, generate control signal for setting current value and/or PWM value for light source(s), and send a control signal to controller(s). The process image(s) captured by camera(s) identify blob(s) representing light source(s) and correct estimated relative pose, based on at least one of: position, orientation, brightness, size, shape, of the blob(s).
