  • Patent number: 12292254
    Abstract: A virtual reality weapon accessory comprising a baton and a tracker adapter coupled to the baton wherein the tracker adapter is configured to adapt with a virtual reality tracker that facilitates communications between the baton and a virtual reality computing device. The tracker adapter includes a groove comprising a female socket configured to receive a strike plate of the virtual reality tracker wherein the groove includes a magnet that attracts to the strike plate. The tracker adapter further includes a pin pad configured to establish signal connections with the virtual reality tracker to transmit signals from the baton to the tracker. The tracker adapter may be configured to detect a flick motion associated with the baton.

  • Publication number: 20250036211
    Abstract: Numerous examples are disclosed of a system and method for universal tracking of physical objects in a physical environment and generating accurate virtual counterparts within an extended reality (XR) environment. In one example, a magnetic tracking system comprises a first XR device to generate a XR environment for a first user, an electromagnetic field (EMF) source to generate EMF, a first tracked object, and a first magnetic sensor physically coupled to the first tracked object to receive the EMF and generate a first sequence of tracking data, wherein the XR environment generates a first virtual counterpart to the first tracked object.
