Abstract
A peripheral device that is used with a mixed reality system that 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;
- an image capturing device;
- a processor operatively coupled to at least the detonation charge and the image capturing device;
- and
- memory operatively coupled to the processor and storing thereupon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:
- determining an operating mode of the projectable device from a plurality of operating modes based at least in part upon an input, the plurality of operating modes comprising an active mode and an inactive mode;
- transmitting at least some of image data captured by the image capturing device to a display system through a wireless connection between the projectable device and the display system;
- and
- determining whether to prevent detonation or to initiate the detonation of the detonation charge based at least in part upon the operating mode and the at least some of the image data.
A projectable device, comprising:
- a detonation charge;
- a safety mechanism that prevents the detonation of the detonation charge;
- a motion sensor that captures at least one motion characteristics of the projectable device;
- an image capturing device, wherein the projectable device is configured to perform a set of operations, the set of operations comprising:
- determining an operating mode of the projectable device from a plurality of operating modes based at least in part upon an input or the safety mechanism, the plurality of operating modes comprising an active mode and an inactive mode;
- transmitting at least some of image data captured by the image capturing device to a display system through a wireless connection between the projectable device and the display system;
- and
- determining whether to prevent detonation or to initiate the detonation of the detonation charge based at least in part upon the operating mode and the at least some of the image data.
A method, comprising:
- determining an operating mode of a projectable device having a detonation charge from a plurality of operating modes based at least in part upon an input, the plurality of operating modes comprising an active mode and an inactive mode;
- establishing a wireless connection between the projectable device and a display system, the wireless connection enabling communication between the projectable device and the display system;
- transmitting at least some of image data captured by the image capturing device to the display system through the wireless connection between the projectable device and the display system;
- and
- determining whether to prevent detonation or to initiate the detonation of the detonation charge based at least in part upon the operating mode and the at least some of the image data.
