What did Steve Bryson said?

[motion tracking]

“If I turn my head and nothing happens, it ain’t VR!”

What are the general criteria?

[motion tracking, 6]

1. Measures as position, orientation, angle, acceleration, distances

2. Dimensions // 3D for VR

3. Number of tracked segments

4. Data handling automatically or manually and in real time or not

5. Size of interaction volume (tradoff)

6. Ergonomics (intrusive or not)

What are the spatial criteria?

[motion tracking, 2]

1. Spatial accuracy (Grasping vs walking) // Hit around middle

2. Spatial precision // Hit exact anywhere

What are the temporal criteria?

[motion tracking, 2]

1. Temporal accuracy (Response time, latency, sample rate)

2. Temporal precision (Jitter)

What are the technologies?

motion tracking, 7]

1. Mechanical with the ultimate displayed

2. Electromagnetic

3. Instrumented gloves

4. Ultra sound

5. Intersense

6. Light

7. Satellite with global positioning system (GPS)

What are electromagnetic examples?

[technologies.motion tracking, 3]

1. Polhemus

2. Ascension

3. Used in military

What are the characteristics of electromagnetic?

[technologies.motion tracking, 5]

1. Good position and orientation

2. Sensitive to ferromagnetic materials in the environment

3. Accuracy decreases with growing distance

4. Large sensors (1-2cm)

5. Cabling

What are the tasks for instrumented gloves?

[technologies.motion tracking, 2]

1. Measures angles between finger segments

2. Difficult to measure thumb rotation for precision grip

What are the characteristics of instrumented gloves?

[technologies.motion tracking, 5]

1. Only makes sense with other trackers

2. Different qualities with flexion vs extension and adduction vs abduction

 

3. Error propagation

4. Discomfort

5. Calibration process necessary

What are the characteristics of intersense?

[technologies.motion tracking, 2]

1. Inertial and acoustic

2. Combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes

What are the technologies of light?

[technologies.motion tracking, 5]

1. Time of flight sensors

2. Structured light (e.g. Mircosoft Kinect)

3. Opto-electronical (e.g. A.R.T.)

4. HTC Vive with lighthouse

5. Oculus rift

What are the characteristics for time of flight sensors?

[light.technologies.motion tracking, 3]

1. Measure distance between camera and objects

2. 200x200pixels with 100Hz resolution

3. 1cm accuracy

What are tools for structured light?

[light.technologies.motion tracking, 3]

1. Pre-defined matrix of points by IR laser projector

2. Deformed point matrix captured by IR camera

3. Texture mapping by VGA camera

What are the characteristics for structured light?

[light.technologies.motion tracking, 2]
