Patent ID: 10795445

Abstract:
A method of determining contact on a user of a virtual reality and/or augmented reality device includes a first device including a plurality of transducers and a control circuit coupled to the plurality of transducers. The method includes activating one or more of the first plurality of transducers and generating waves that couple into at least a portion of a first appendage of a user wearing the first wearable device. The method further includes at a second wearable device having a second plurality of transducers, receiving at least a portion of the waves generated by the first plurality of transducers when the first appendage of the user is within a threshold distance from the second wearable device. The user is wearing the second wearable device on a second appendage different from the first appendage and in response to receiving the portion of the waves, providing a signal corresponding to the received portion of the waves to a computing device that uses the signal to determine a position of the first appendage with respect to a position of the second wearable device.
