Publication number: 20240144533Abstract: Various implementations disclosed herein include devices, systems, and methods that track a movement of an input device. For example, an example process may include determine a pose of a tracking device in a physical environment based on first sensor data from an image sensor. The process then may receive, from the tracking device, first positional data corresponding to a first relative positioning between the tracking device and an input device in the physical environment, where the first positional data is determined based on second sensor data obtained via a sensor on the tracking device. The process then may track movement of the input device in the physical environment based at least in part on the first positional data and the pose of the tracking device. The process then may determine an input for the electronic device based at least in part on tracking the movement of the input device.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 10, 2024Publication date: May 2, 2024Inventors: Jeffrey S. Norris, Michael J. Rockwell, Tony Kobayashi, William D. Lindmeier
