  • Publication number: 20200310529
    Abstract: A virtual reality (VR) system includes: storage device for storing a plurality of gesture datasets including key points, and for storing a plurality of speed groupings data records for each stored gesture dataset; tracking pucks for receiving movement data related to a user's movement in the VR environment; and one or more processors for identifying a plurality of key points of the user movement within a predetermined time window by analyzing the received movement data, detecting a matched gesture of the user movement by comparing the key points of the user movement and the stored plurality of key points, selecting a speed group data set for the matched gesture from the stored plurality of speed groupings data records to determine movement speed of the user within the VR application, and executing a command in the VR environment based on the verified matched gesture and movement speed of the user.

  • Patent number: 10642345
    Abstract: A virtual training system includes a computing processor, a virtual reality (VR) headset and a sensor to determine a VR hand position. The processor is configured according to computing instructions in a memory device for displaying a first VR scene that includes a first VR object. A second VR scene is displayed within a visual portal in the first VR scene that includes a second VR object. A user VR hand image is displayed in at least one of the first VR scene and the second VR scene based upon the determined VR hand position.
