Patent number: 11450073Abstract: Systems and methods are described for virtual and augmented reality. A position of a first user and a position of a second user in a physical space are received, wherein the positions are derived from detected infrared light from a plurality of cameras. An image corresponding to the first user is rendered at a first virtual position in a display device associated with the second user, wherein the first virtual position is determined based at least in part on a position of the first user in the physical space and on a determined viewpoint of the second user. An image corresponding to the second user is rendered at a second virtual position in a display device associated with the first user, wherein the second virtual position is determined based at least in part on a position of the second user in the physical space and on a determined viewpoint of the first user.Type: GrantFiled: February 9, 2021Date of Patent: September 20, 2022Assignee: WorldViz, Inc.Inventors: Matthias Pusch, Andrew C. Beall

Patent number: 10495726Abstract: A portable virtual reality and/or augmented reality system enabling the projection and tracking of a user in a simulated environment is described. A system of motion capture cameras/sensors, computing, and tracking devices is provided in a portable package. Each tracking device is configured with one or more emitters which may generate a distinctive, repetitive pattern. The virtual reality and/or augmented reality system once assembled, provides for motion tracking and display of a one or more users in a simulated environment.Type: GrantFiled: March 23, 2018Date of Patent: December 3, 2019Assignee: WorldViz, Inc.Inventors: Matthias Pusch, Masaki Miyanohara, John T. Roessler, Andrew C. Beall

Patent number: 10452916Abstract: A marker tracking system configured to detect light patterns (e.g., infrared light patterns) generated by one or more markers is described. A given marker is configured with a code which identifies the marker in a motion tracking camera field of view. Motion tracking camera(s) record the emitted infrared light and are configured to directly, or in conjunction with an associated computing device, computationally distinguish a given marker with high accuracy and efficiently.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignee: WorldViz, Inc.Inventors: Andrew C.
