The invention relates to the technical field of VR, provides a
handle positioning method and
virtual reality equipment, and is used for improving the positioning precision and robustness of a
handle. According to the method, the
handle is improved, and a plurality of
infrared LED lamps are replaced by an
infrared curve light band, so that when the handle is closer to a camera of the
virtual reality equipment, the light band is continuously encircled, the camera can be ensured to collect an
infrared handle image containing the light band, the tracking range of the handle is effectively expanded, and the tracking accuracy of the handle is improved. The influence of a strip-shaped
light source and a strip-shaped
light source in the environment is reduced, a sufficient number of 2D central point sets are extracted by utilizing a plurality of contour points for an infrared curve light band, and the target six-degree-of-freedom
pose of the handle relative to the
virtual reality equipment can be stably and robustly solved by combining a preset 3D central
point set and camera internal parameters; and accurate interaction is carried out based on the accurate target six-degree-of-freedom
pose, so that the immersive experience of the user is improved.
