Abstract
A peripheral device that is used with a mixed reality system is thrown by the user of the mixed reality system and captures scene and mapping data of the area the peripheral is thrown into. Upon capturing the scene and mapping data, the peripheral transmits the data (in some embodiments, including processed results of evaluation of the data) to the mixed reality system. The mixed reality system displays a visual representation of the scene and mapping data on a near eye display. In some embodiments, the visual representation appears in real space enabling an effect where the user of the mixed reality system can see through walls or other obstructions. In some embodiments, the peripheral is configured to detonate upon the satisfaction of a variable set of conditions.
Claims20
A projectable device, comprising:
- a detonation charge;
- one or more cameras;
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the detonation charge and the one or more cameras;
- and
- memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- establishing a wireless pairing between the projectable device and a mixed reality (MR) system, the wireless pairing enabling communication between the projectable device and the MR system;
- receiving scene and mapping data for an environment in proximity to the projectable device, the scene and mapping data captured by the one or more cameras;
- receiving an indication to transition the projectable device from a low power mode to an active mode, wherein
- the scene and mapping data is captured by the one or more cameras when the protectable device is in the active mode, and
- the indication is provided through manipulation of a switch or a pin on the projectable device;
- transmitting the scene and mapping data to the MR system through the wireless pairing;
- and
- initiating a detonation of the projectable device using the detonation charge.
A projectable device, comprising:
- a detonation charge;
- one or more cameras;
- at least one processor communicatively coupled to the detonation charge and the one or more cameras;
- and
- memory communicatively coupled to the at least one processor, the memory storing instructions which, when executed by the at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to perform operations comprising:
- establishing a wireless pairing between the projectable device and a mixed reality (MR) system, the wireless pairing enabling communication between the projectable device and the MR system;
- receiving scene and mapping data for an environment in proximity to the projectable device, the scene and mapping data captured by the one or more cameras;
- transmitting the scene and mapping data to the MR system through the wireless pairing;
- and
- initiating a detonation of the projectable device using the detonation charge, wherein the projectable device is a drone.
A method performed by a projectable device, the method comprising:
- establishing a wireless pairing between the projectable device and a mixed reality (MR) system, the wireless pairing enabling communication between the projectable device and the MR system;
- receiving scene and mapping data for an environment in proximity to the projectable device, the scene and mapping data captured by one or more cameras of the projectable device;
- receiving an indication to transition the projectable device from a low power mode to an active mode, wherein
- the scene and mapping data is captured by the one or more cameras when the protectable device is in the active mode, and
- the indication is provided through manipulation of a switch or a pin on the projectable device;
- transmitting the scene and mapping data to the MR system through the wireless pairing;
- and
- initiating a detonation of the projectable device using a detonation charge included in the projectable device.
