Abstract
An apparatus for augmented and virtual reality systems can include a mount, a base, a linkage, a linkage sensor, and a receiver assembly. The mount can releasably attach to an anchor structure. The base can be adjustably engaged or fixedly engaged with the mount. The linkage can be adjustably engaged with the base. The linkage sensor can sense the orientation of the linkage relative to the base. The receiver assembly can receive a tool.
Claims2
An apparatus comprising:
- a mount configured to releasably attach to an anchor structure;
- a base being one of fixedly engaged and movably engaged with said mount;
- a linkage movably engaged with said base whereby a first orientation of said linkage relative to said base is adjustable;
- at least one linkage sensor disposed to sense the first orientation of said linkage relative to said base;
- and
- a receiver assembly having one of a male and female connecting portion for releasably receiving a tool;
- wherein said linkage is rotatable about a first axis and further comprises a plurality of links;
- and
- wherein said one of the male and female connecting portion is offset from said linkage such that a plane containing at least two of said plurality of links and normal to said first axis and closest to said one of the male and female connecting portion is at least thirty millimeters from a center of said one of the male and female connecting portion.
