Abstract:
Systems are provided that include a wireless hand-held inertial controller with passive optical and inertial tracking in a slim form-factor. These systems are configured for use with a head mounted virtual or augmented reality display device (HMD) that operates with six degrees of freedom by fusing (i) data related to the position of the controller derived from a forward-facing optical sensor located in the HMD with (ii) data relating to the orientation of the controller derived from an inertial measurement unit located in the controller.

Claim (Index 1):
A hand-held controller for use in a virtual or augmented reality computing environment that includes a head mounted display (HMD) device that determines at least a position of the hand-held controller based on detected position data associated with at least two different optical reflectors positioned on the hand-held controller, the hand-held controller comprising:\n a body having a first end, a second end and a middle portion between the first end and the second end, the body also including a first optically reflective marker at or proximate the first end and a second optically reflective marker positioned separately from the first optically reflective marker at or proximate the second end, the first and second optically reflective markers being adapted to reflect IR (infrared) light emitted from the HMD device, toward an optical sensor for the HMD device, wherein the IR light that is reflected to the HMD device is used to generate position data of the hand-held controller by the HMD; and the middle portion enclosing at least one of (1) an inertial measurement unit (IMU) that tracks orientation data of the hand-held controller or (2) one or more buttons configured and positioned for selective actuation by a finger or thumb of a user to receive user inputs, as well as a communications radio configured to provide providing wireless communications between the hand-held controller and the HMD, so as to provide the orientation data and/or user inputs to the HMD.
