Magnetic tracker power duty cycling

A method for augmenting spatial sensor device readings comprising:

• receiving an indication that adjusting an output associated with a first spatial input device will improve a system characteristic;
• causing the first spatial input device to operate at an adjusted output;
• causing a second spatial input device to determine a measurement of the first spatial input device;
• causing a third spatial input device to acquire pose data of the first spatial input device;
• and
• computing a pose of the first spatial input device by at least augmenting measurements determined from the first spatial input device with the pose data acquired by the third spatial input device.

A computer system for augmenting spatial sensor device readings, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• and
• one or more physical computer-readable storage media having stored thereon executable instructions that when executed by the one or more processors configure the computer system to perform at least the following:
• cause a first spatial input device to transmit a tracking signal at a reduced rate;
• cause a second spatial input device to determine a measurement of the tracking signal;
• use a third spatial input device to acquire pose data of the first spatial input device;
• and
• compute a pose of the first spatial input device by at least augmenting the measurement of the tracking signal with the pose data acquired by the third spatial input device.
