Claim 0:
1. A head-mounted display system, comprising:
a first head-mounted display system component;
a plurality of angle sensitive detectors carried by the first head-mounted display system component, in operation, each of the plurality of angle sensitive detectors captures sensor data indicative of an angle of arrival of light emitted from one or more light sources;
a second head-mounted display system component that includes one or more light sources; and
control circuitry operative to:
cause the one or more light sources to emit light;
receive sensor data from one or more of the plurality of angle sensitive detectors, the sensor data comprising a plurality of sensor data samples;
process the received sensor data, including identification of one or more corrupted sensor data samples, each of the one or more corrupted sensor data samples comprising a sensor data sample from one of the plurality of angle sensitive detectors identified as likely not representing light that has been directly received by the one of the plurality of angle sensitive detectors from the one or more light sources; and
track a position of the second head-mounted display system component based at least in part on the processing of the received sensor data.
