Abstract
Aspects described herein include a system and associated AR-capable headset and method. The system includes one or more controller devices and an augmented reality (AR)-capable headset. The AR-capable headset includes one or more visual sensors and one or more computer processors that, while the headset is in an unworn state: receive input from the one or more controller devices, output visual content to an external display, and visually detect the one or more controller devices using the one or more visual sensors.
Claims20
A system comprising:
- one or more controller devices;
- and
- an augmented reality (AR)-capable headset comprising:
- one or more visual sensors;
- and
- one or more computer processors configured to, while the headset is in an unworn state:
- receive input from the one or more controller devices;
- output visual content to an external display;
- and
- visually detect the one or more controller devices using the one or more visual sensors.
An augmented reality (AR)-capable headset comprising:
- one or more visual sensors;
- and
- one or more computer processors configured to:
- determine whether the headset is in an unworn state, wherein the headset has a substantially static orientation;
- and
- while the headset is in the unworn state:
- receive input from one or more controller devices;
- output visual content to an external display;
- and
- visually detect the one or more controller devices using the one or more visual sensors.
A method for use with an augmented reality (AR)-capable headset, the method comprising:
- determining whether the headset is an unworn state, wherein the headset has a substantially static orientation;
- and
- while the headset is in the unworn state:
- receiving input from one or more controller devices;
- outputting visual content to an external display;
- and
- visually detecting the one or more controller devices using one or more visual sensors of the headset.
