The Sixdof Solution
Concentrate only on bright and high contrast objects with shutter of <1ms
Image compression at optical domain
Small data sets allow SLAM iterations as rapidly as every 1ms
At 1KHz frame rates user movements are typically well below 1 degree angular and less than 1cm translational
- Absolute Localization with Coded Beacons
- Individually coded infra-red light beacons
- Variable size and power
- Ability to re-localize if tracking is lost due to momentary obstruction of line-of-sight
- Absolute real-world locking for high precision AR applications (pixel stick)
- Pre-defined light map
- Can use a miniature, 2-sensor module
Toroid Lens Module Performance
- Large field of view (>120 degrees in both axes)
- High Optical efficiency - large NA
- Very high image resolution
- Single element optic design
- 1K pixel low-cost linear CMOS sensor
- 0.5 mSec shutter or less
- Up to 1KHz readout rate
- At 8-bit quantization, still only 1MByte/sec of data per sensor
Potential Applications (partial list)
- Head tracking AR and VR headsets
- Camera position tracking for AR applications
- Moving vehicle tracking in an indoor location (forklifts, robots, trains)
- Tracking workers in a construction site
- Navigation and positioning of drones
- Navigation for in large indoor facilities and tunnels
- Landing system navigation for crafts
- Medical instrument tracking and robotic surgery
