Abstract:
Systems and methods are disclosed for operating, calibrating, and dynamically optimizing a system for a virtual reality environment where colored marker lights are attached to objects, the objects including players, controllers, and devices related to the game. One or more color cameras are used to view one or more spaces, and track positions and orientations of players and other objects according to the attached marker lights. A hierarchical system of servers may be used to process positions and orientations of objects and provide controls as necessary for the system. A method for color assignment is described as well as a calibration process, and a dynamic optimization process. A synchronization process is also described that ensures that a plurality of cameras and attached servers are properly coordinated. Head-mounted devices may also be used in conjunction with marker lights to provide information regarding players.

Claim (Index 14):
A method for operating a virtual reality environment including at least one space, at least one color camera, a communication link, at least one object, at least one colored light attached to each of the at least one object configured to be used as at least one tracking marker, at least one processor, and at least one server comprising a hierarchy of at least one slave server and a master server, the method comprising:\n viewing, using at least one of the at least one color camera, the at least one space; tracking, using at least one of said at least one server, movements of the at least one object; locating, using the at least one slave servers, the position of the at least one tracking marker within view of the at least one color camera; transmitting, via the communication link, position of the at least one tracking marker to the master server; and determining, based on the position of the at least one tracking marker as viewed by a plurality of color cameras, an average position for the at least one tracking marker; wherein the at least one object comprises at least one of a player, a controller and a device related to the virtual reality.
