چکیده
A low-cost optical tracking system can lead the way to affordable realism and provide an alternative communication interface to conventional user-computer interaction methodologies. The main aim of this project was to prove that it is possible to create a lowcost optical tracking system that is easy to use, provides a high level of accuracy and has low latency Although many optical tracking systems exist today, their high cost leaves such technology out of reach of many people. By aiming to reduce the cost of the system to as low as a couple of hundred rand, this project aims to make optical tracking technology available to a wide variety of users.

متن کاملMotion Control in VR — Real-time Upper Limb Tracking via IMU and Flex Sensor
Real-time limb motion tracking offers a natural and intuitive way to interact with virtual environment in VR head-mounted displays. In this report, we present an affordable while accurate and lowlatency tracker design using a single IMU plus a flex sensor. A kinematically-constrained model is developed to fuse the 7-degree measurement and reconstruct the state of upper limb. We build a prototyp...
متن کاملThe Personal Space Station: Bringing Interaction Within Reach
Near-field virtual reality allows users to interact with virtual objects within arm’s reach of the user. Environments for near-field VR are well suited for direct precise interaction by taking advantage of the user’s hand-eye co-ordination. We discuss the design and initial experience of a near-field virtual environment, the Personal Space Station (PSS). In this system, all interactive 3D tasks...

In this paper, we describe the hardand software of a new low-cost infrared-optical pose-tracking system for room-sized virtual environments. The system consists of 4-8 shutter-synchronized 1394cameras with an optical bandpass filter and infrared illuminator. All image-processing is done in software on an attached workstation. Preliminary results indicate low latency (20-40ms), minimal jitter (R...
متن کاملA Real-time Motion Tracking Wireless System for Upper Limb Exosuit Based on Inertial Measurement Units and Flex Sensors (TECHNICAL NOTE)
This paper puts forward a real-time angular tracking (motion capture) system for a low cost upper limb exosuit based on sensor fusion; which is integrated by an elastic sleeve-mitten, two inertial measurement units (IMU), two flex sensors and a wireless communication system. The device can accurately detect the angular position of the shoulder (flexion-extension, abduction-adduction and interna...
