Example Embodiment

[0041] Electromagnetic tracking (EMT) systems can be used in gaming and / or surgical settings to track devices (eg, game controllers, head-mounted displays, medical devices, robotic arms, etc.), allowing users of the system to know their corresponding three-dimensional positions And orientation. Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) systems also use EMT systems to perform head, hand, and body tracking, for example, to synchronize user movements with AR / VR content. Such EMT systems use a magnetic transmitter close to the magnetic sensor to determine the position and / or orientation of the sensor relative to the transmitter. The transmitters and sensors used in such systems can be calibrated to ensure that the transmitters and sensors can provide users with accurate position and orientation information. If the EMT sensor or transmitter is not calibrated or not calibrated correctly, the accuracy may be greatly reduced.

Abstract

A calibration device comprising: a plurality of magnetic sensors positioned at the calibration device, the plurality of magnetic sensors defining a space; a controller configured to be positioned in the space defined by the plurality of magnetic sensors, wherein the controller includes a magnetic transmitter; and one or more processors configured to: cause the magnetic transmitter to generate magnetic fields; receive signals from the plurality of magnetic sensors that are based on characteristics of the magnetic fields received at the plurality of magnetic sensors; calculate, based on the signals received from the plurality of magnetic sensors, positions and orientations of the plurality of magnetic sensors relative to a position and orientation of the magnetic transmitter; and determine whether the calculated positions and orientations of the plurality of magnetic sensors are within one or more threshold limits of known positions and orientations of the plurality of magnetic sensors.

Description

[0001] priority claim [0002] This application claims priority under 35 USC § 119(e) to US Patent Application Serial No. 62 / 619,624, filed January 19, 2018, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. technical field [0003] The present disclosure relates to calibrating magnetic transmitters. Background technique [0004] Augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and other systems can use electromagnetic tracking (EMT) systems to help locate devices in various situations (eg, gaming, medical, etc.). Such systems utilize a magnetic transmitter close to the magnetic sensor so that the sensor and transmitter can be spatially positioned relative to each other. Incorrect calibration of the transmitter relative to the sensor (and vice versa) may cause the EMT system to report the wrong location of the sensor or transmitter. Contents of the invention [0005] Calibration of a magnetic transmitter may be performed by positioning the transmitter in a ...
