Camera Tracking Methods

MREAL Platform supports camera tracking methods using the following.

Each camera tracking method requires placing a Default Marker on a horizontal surface as the origin of the world coordinate system.

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 tracking indicators. This allows you to experience MREAL without using special equipment ().

Markers

Extract the feature points of markers affixed to a wall or floor from an image captured with the MREAL Display, and use them as tracking indicators. This is effective when there are few structures that can serve as feature points in the space. This facilitates an MREAL experience with higher accuracy than with spatial features ().

Tracking Sensors

Track an attachment (sold separately) mounted to the MREAL Display with VICON, OptiTrack, or VRPN compatible optical sensor. This facilitates an MREAL experience with higher accuracy than with spatial features or markers ().
