Synchronous dynamic vision sensor led ai tracking system and method

A tracking system, comprising

• a processor;
• a controller operably coupled to the processor, the controller having a controller body;
• two or more light sources mounted in a known configuration with respect to each other and with respect to the controller body, wherein the two or more light sources are configured to turn on and off in a predetermined time sequence;
• a dynamic vision sensor (DVS) operably coupled to the processor, the DVS having an array of light-sensitive elements in a known configuration, wherein the DVS is configured to output signals corresponding to two or more events at two or more corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array in response to changes in light output from the two or more light sources, wherein the output signals include information corresponding to times of the two or more events and locations of the two or more corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array,
• wherein the processor is configured to determine a position and orientation of the controller from the times of the two or more events, the known configuration of the two or more light sources with respect to each other and with respect to the controller body,
• the locations of the two or more corresponding light-sensitive elements in the array and the predetermined time sequence.
