Embodiment Construction

[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, eg, to synchronize a user's movements with AR / VR content. Such EMT systems use a magnetic transmitter in close proximity to the magnetic sensor to determine the position and / or orientation of the sensor relative to the transmitter. Transmitters and sensors used in such systems can be calibrated to ensure that the transmitters and sensors can provide accurate position and orientation information to the user. If the EMT sensor or transmitter is not calibrated or is not properly calibrated, the accuracy can be greatly reduced.

Abstract

The present invention relates to calibrating magnetic transducers. A calibration device includes: 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 a magnetic field; receive from the plurality of magnetic sensors based on calculating the position and orientation of the plurality of magnetic sensors relative to the position and orientation of the magnetic transducer based on the signals received from the plurality of magnetic sensors; and determining the calculated plurality of magnetic sensors Whether the positions and orientations of the 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 a system utilizes a magnetic transmitter close to the magnetic sensor so that the sensor and transmitter can be spatially positioned relative to each other. Improper calibration of the transmitter relative to the sensor (and vice versa) may cause the EMT system to report the wrong position of the sensor or transmitter. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION [0005] Calibration of the magnetic transmitter may be performed by positioning the transmitter in ...
