US12429947 - Equipment detection using a wearable device

A simulation system may comprise a headset and an equipment. A wireless communication interface of the headset may receive position information from the equipment. The headset may detect a passively-instrumented object represented in a captured image. The headset may detect a wearable device coupled to the passively-instrumented object. The headset may determine position information for the passively-instrumented object. The headset may present an image of virtual equipment corresponding to the equipment in accordance with the position information from the equipment and the position information detected for the passively-instrumented object.

The patent describes a method for detecting equipment in virtual reality training using a wearable device that receives position information and determines the location of a passively-instrumented object. The system displays a virtual image of the equipment based on the determined position of the object relative to the wearable device.

Claim 1

  1. A method of detecting an equipment for virtual reality-based training, the method comprising: receiving, via a wireless network interface of a wearable computing device, equipment position information from the equipment; determining, by a processor of the wearable computing device, a position of a passively-instrumented object relative to the wearable computing device in accordance with a captured image; and displaying, via a display of the wearable computing device, an image of the equipment in accordance with the position of the passively-instrumented object, wherein determining the position of the passively-instrumented object comprises determining a position of a wearable device coupled to the passively-instrumented object. receiving, via a wireless network interface of a wearable computing device, equipment position information from the equipment; determining, by a processor of the wearable computing device, a position of a passively-instrumented object relative to the wearable computing device in accordance with a captured image; and displaying, via a display of the wearable computing device, an image of the equipment in accordance with the position of the passively-instrumented object, wherein determining the position of the passively-instrumented object comprises determining a position of a wearable device coupled to the passively-instrumented object.
