Abstract:
The present invention provides devices, methods and systems for use with interactive equipment in a simulated or augmented environment, or in real world operations. The inventive devices, methods and systems allow for interactive operation equipment in a virtual or augmented reality environment while eliminating virtual drift of the operational equipment. The present invention further eliminates the need to reset a simulated environment to accommodate swapping out equipment, allowing a seamless simulation to provide an optimal virtual training environment. Finally, the present invention provides for a highly accurate operational equipment to be used in a virtual or augmented environment allowing for optimal training, while minimizing down time.

Claim (Index 13):
A system for providing zero drift equipment position tracking in a simulated (virtual reality or augmented reality) environment, the system comprising:\n at least one device mount, said device mount comprising:\n i) a base portion connected to an equipment holding portion, wherein said base portion or said equipment portion, or the connection therebetween, have at least one axis of rotation, at least one gear at said base having at least one axis of rotation and wherein said equipment holding portion is for holding equipment to be interactively used in a virtual reality or augmented reality setting; \n ii) at least one optical encoder having at least one gear, wherein said encoder engagement gear is engaged with said gear at said at least one axis of rotation, and wherein said encoder receives position information from said encoder engagement gear; and \n iii) at least one processor for receiving information from said encoder and communicating said information for integration into a virtual reality or augmented reality program for real-time interactive response; \n at least one encoder used for tracking the position or angle of the axis of rotation; a computing device for processing the position information generated by the encoder; and a computer used for image generating of a simulated environment; wherein, said device mount is operated by a user in a simulated environment, said encoder determining the position or angle of the equipment as it is being manipulated and moved in the simulated environment, said position information being generated by the encoder being processed by the computing device and communicated to the image generating computer to illustrate in real-time the movement and manipulation of the equipment used with the device mount in the simulated environment.
