  • Publication number: 20250095282
    Abstract: Systems and methods of generating ground truth datasets for producing virtual reality (VR) experiences, for testing simulated sensor configurations, and for training machine-learning algorithms. In one example, a recording device with one or more cameras and one or more inertial measurement units captures images and motion data along a real path through a physical environment. A SLAM application uses the captured data to calculate the trajectory of the recording device. A polynomial interpolation module uses Chebyshev polynomials to generate a continuous time trajectory (CTT) function. The method includes identifying a virtual environment and assembling a simulated sensor configuration, such as a VR headset. Using the CTT function, the method includes generating a ground truth output dataset that represents the simulated sensor configuration in motion along a virtual path through the virtual environment.

  • Publication number: 20250061658
    Abstract: An augmented reality (AR) device generates hand annotations for an image depicting a user's hand. The device includes a display, a processor, and a memory storing instructions for performing operations. The device performs a calibration operation to generate a 3-D model of the user's hand based on measurements. The calibration operation prompts the user to mimic the hand gesture presented by the animated virtual representation of a hand to obtain optimal images of the hand for hand pose estimation. A 3-D virtual representation of a hand in a hand pose corresponding with a hand gesture is generated based on the 3-D model. The device presents the 3-D virtual representation of the hand in AR via the display. During presentation, the device detects an input and captures an image of the user's hand positioned to correspond with the 3-D virtual representation. The captured image is stored with corresponding hand annotations based on the 3-D model.
