Systems and methods for 3D spatial tracking

A method by a computing system, the method comprising:

• accessing a live track list stored in the one or more memory units, the live track list comprising a plurality of tracks, each track of the plurality of tracks comprising:
• a coordinate of an object of interest captured by a physical sensor located within a physical environment;
• a unique identification (ID) for the detected object of interest;
• receiving a new track for a new object of interest, the new track comprising a coordinate of the new track and unique ID for the new object of interest;
• comparing the new track to the plurality of tracks of the live track list in order to determine if the new track matches any existing tracks of the plurality of tracks, wherein comparing the new track to the plurality of tracks of the live track list in order to determine if the new track matches any existing tracks of the plurality of tracks comprises determining if a velocity of the new object of interest matches any velocities of any of the plurality of tracks of the live track list;
• if it is determined that the new track matches a particular existing track in the live track list, merging the new track with the particular existing track;
• if it is determined that the new track does not match any existing tracks in the live track list, adding the new track to the live track list;
• displaying, in a graphical user interface, a virtual three-dimensional (3D) environment that corresponds to the physical environment;
• and
• projecting virtual objects into the virtual 3D environment using the live track list.

One or more computer-readable non-transitory storage media embodying instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• accessing a live track list stored in the one or more memory units, the live track list comprising a plurality of tracks, each track of the plurality of tracks comprising:
• a coordinate of an object of interest captured by a physical sensor located within a physical environment;
• a unique identification (ID) for the detected object of interest;
• receiving a new track for a new object of interest, the new track comprising a coordinate of the new track and unique ID for the new object of interest;
• comparing the new track to the plurality of tracks of the live track list in order to determine if the new track matches any existing tracks of the plurality of tracks, wherein comparing the new track to the plurality of tracks of the live track list in order to determine if the new track matches any existing tracks of the plurality of tracks comprises determining if a velocity of the new object of interest matches any velocities of any of the plurality of tracks of the live track list;
• if it is determined that the new track matches a particular existing track in the live track list, merging the new track with the particular existing track;
• if it is determined that the new track does not match any existing tracks in the live track list, adding the new track to the live track list;
• displaying, in a graphical user interface, a virtual three-dimensional (3D) environment that corresponds to the physical environment;
• and
• projecting virtual objects into the virtual 3D environment using the live track list.
