Field: Audio-visual technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 18:
19. A motion capture and spatial translation system comprising:
an infinite directional travel platform (IDTP) comprising:
a hollow ported vessel that has an elliptical lower body and a flat upper body;
a treadmill motion surface that encapsulates the ported vessel and moves in all directions;
a layer of lubricant fluid between the treadmill motion surface and the ported vessel to reduce friction, allowing unrestricted movement of the motion surface; and
a port integrated within the vessel to create a channel for the lubricant fluid to move from a top to a bottom of the vessel;

a host frame that supports the IDTP and is fitted with motor-controlled wheels to induce movement of the treadmill motion surface relative to the hollow vessel;
a retention ring that is studded with ball transfer bearings that hold the IDTP in place while allowing unrestricted movement of the treadmill motion surface;
computer vision (CV) cameras positioned adjacent to the treadmill motion surface for capturing foot movements of the user, including an X-axis and a Y-axis camera;
hub motors contained within the wheels to drive movement of the wheels and the treadmill motion surface in various directions and speeds; and
a motor controller that controls the hub motors.
