Abstract:
The technology disclosed can provide improved safety by detecting potential unsafe conditions (e.g., collisions, loss of situational awareness, etc.) confronting the user of a wearable (or portable) sensor configured to capture motion and/or determining the path of an object based on imaging, acoustic or vibrational waves. Implementations can enable improved safety to users of virtual reality for machine control and/or machine communications applications using wearable (or portable) devices, e.g., head mounted displays (HMDs), wearable goggles, watch computers, smartphones, and so forth, or mobile devices, e.g., autonomous and semi-autonomous robots, factory floor material handling systems, autonomous mass-transit vehicles, automobiles (human or machine driven), and so forth, equipped with suitable sensors and processors employing optical, audio or vibrational detection.

Claim (Index 37):
The method of claim  1 , the method further including:\n creating a virtual three-dimensional (3D) map of a real world environment surrounding a user of a virtual reality device using at least one camera coupled to the virtual reality device that captures a sequence of images of the real world environment; using features in some images of the sequence of images to detect positions and shapes of one or more physical objects in the real world environment and incorporating the physical objects detected as 3D constraints in the virtual three-dimensional (3D) map, wherein the physical objects detected as 3D constraints represent actual positions and shapes of the physical objects in the real world environment; localizing a position of the virtual reality device in the real world environment; and responsive to detecting an approaching 3D constraint within a proximity threshold of the user using the virtual reality device, automatically signaling the virtual reality device to generate an alert to the user.
