  • Three dimensional object-localization and tracking using ultrasonic pulses with synchronized inertial position determination
    Patent number: 11269047
    Abstract: A tracking method is disclosed. The method may include displaying visual content on a screen. A base station may be stationary with respect to the screen while the visual content is being displayed. In contrast, one or more objects may move with respect to the screen while the visual content is being displayed. The one or more objects may be tracked so that the movement thereof may be used to alter the visual content. Such tracking may involve the base station and the one or more objects sending and/or receiving one or more ultrasonic pulses. The tracked object also determines information using an inertial sensor assembly that receives a synchronization signal coordinated with the one or more ultrasonic pulses.
