Providing a representation of orientation and movement of an item being moved in space

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium having recorded thereon a program which when executed on a wearable electronic device having processing capabilities is arranged for implementing:

• retrieving, via an item communication unit of the wearable electronic device, item defining data from a device communication unit of an item being physically separate from the wearable electronic device;
• determining, based on the item defining data, data defining physical properties of the item, wherein the physical properties of the item comprise one or more of size, weight, density distribution, center of gravity, inertia of mass, flexibility and visual appearance of the item;
• registering, via an orientation and movement detector of the wearable electronic device, orientation and movement of the wearable electronic device during user movement of the item;
• and
• computing, via a processor of the wearable electronic device, and independently of data from orientation or movement sensors of the item, a representation of orientation and movement of the item based on the data defining physical properties of the item and the registered orientation and movement of the wearable electronic device.

A system comprising an item, a first processor, and a wearable electronic device, the wearable electronic device is adapted to be worn by a user and is physically separate from the item, the system is adapted to provide a representation of orientation and movement of the item being moved in space by the user,

• wherein the item comprises:
• an item memory storing item defining data, and
• a device communication unit adapted to transmit the item defining data;
• wherein the item does not include any orientation or movement sensors;
• wherein the electronic device comprises:
• an item communication unit adapted to receive the item defining data from the device communication unit, and
• an orientation and movement detector adapted to register orientation and movement of the wearable electronic device during user movement of the item;
• wherein the first processor is configured to determine, based on the item defining data, data defining physical properties of the item, wherein the physical properties of the item comprise at least one of size, weight, density distribution, center of gravity, inertia of mass, flexibility and visual appearance of the item;
• and
• wherein the first processor is adapted to compute the representation of orientation and movement of the item based on the data defining physical properties of the item and the registered orientation and movement of the wearable electronic device.
