  • Patent number: 11579711
    Abstract: A hand-held controller and a positional reference device for determining the position and orientation of the hand-held controller within a three-dimensional volume relative to the location of the positional reference device. An input/output subsystem in conjunction with processing and memory subsystems can receive a reference image data captured by a beacon sensing device combined with inertial measurement information from inertial measurement units within the hand-held controller. The position and orientation of the hand-held controller can be computed based on the linear distance between a pair of beacons on the positional reference device and the reference image data and the inertial measurement information.
