Setting Camera Tracking Using Spatial Features

The following describes the settings for camera tracking using spatial features.

Spatial features can be used with the following MREAL Displays.

  • MREAL S1, MREAL X1, and MREAL Display MD-20

Overview of Camera Tracking Using Spatial Features

Extract the feature points (features that serve as recognition marks, such as boundaries and corners) of a structure (such as a joist, pillar, or window) and placed objects (such as a desk or cabinet) from an image captured with the MREAL Display and use them as indicators for tracking the movement of the MREAL user. This allows you to experience MREAL without using special equipment.

Environments Suitable for Spatial Features

We recommend using spatial features in environments such as the following.

  • Where there is a pattern on a wall or the floor
  • Where an object is fixed or stationary within the space
  • Where a structure in the space has few curved or long straight line parts, and has intersecting and angled parts.
