Abstract
A method for allowing or disallowing control of a motion tracking system by means of voice, comprising: digitally processing sound detected by each microphone of the at least one microphone; digitally computing SNR by computing both first energy of a voice signal in the detected sound and second energy of noise in the detected sound; digitally processing electromagnetic waves captured by each antenna of the at least one antenna so as to detect data packets transmitted to the computing apparatus by each sensor of the plurality of sensors, each data packet including RSSI of a respective sensor; digitally computing distance between each sensor and the computing apparatus based on the RSSI of the data packets received from the respective sensor; digitally computing a percentage of sensors of the plurality of sensors having at least one of: a distance exceeding a predetermined maximum distance threshold, and a change in distance exceeding a predetermined maximum changing distance threshold; and digitally setting allowance or disallowance of voice control based on both the SNR computed and the percentage of sensors computed.
