Patent number: 11933976Abstract: Systems and methods for tracking the position of one or more head-mounted display (HMD) system components of an HMD system. The HMD components may carry a plurality of angle sensitive detectors or other types of detectors. The HMD system may be operative to detect corrupted position tracking samples, allowing such samples to be ignored, thereby improving the position tracking process. Control circuitry causes light sources to emit light according a specified pattern, and receives sensor data from the plurality of detectors. Control circuitry may process the sensor data, for example using machine learning or other techniques, to track a position of one or more HMD components.Type: GrantFiled: September 27, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: Valve CorporationInventors: Evan Fletcher, Jeffrey Walter Mucha, Joshua Mark Hudman, Alan Yates, Gordon Wayne Stoll, Jeffrey George Leinbaugh, Charles Lohr

Patent number: 8816849Abstract: Suspended or overhanging of obstructions are selectively signaled to an individual by a device that can worn by an individual. The device includes a first sensor that is oriented to selectively detect a suspended or overhanging obstruction at an elevation above the housing and a second distance sensor that is oriented to selectively detect an object at an elevation of the housing. A logic circuit within the housing is electrically connected to the first and second sensors and emits a response if the first sensor is activated, but emits no response if the first and second sensors are both activated. A signaling device electrically connected to the logic circuit is activated upon emission of a response from the logic circuit.Type: GrantFiled: June 24, 2011Date of Patent: August 26, 2014Inventors: Andrew L. Hong, Lindsay Cannon, Mackenzie P. Devlin, Matthew L. Schmidt, Jeffrey A. Yates

Publication number: 20050062751Abstract: A method is disclosed for defining surface properties in a virtual world. An object includes vertices defining a surface and surface properties. A number of vertex data layers are provided that permit a user to define several properties, including color, that are then combined according to user-specified vertex layer interactions to produce layer values specifying physical properties of the surface. When user input is received at a specified layer, and an object surface property, such as color, is modified.
