    Abstract: A case for a portable device like a smartphone includes light sources such as LEDs, which, when illuminated, can be detected and tracked by a head-worn augmented or virtual reality device. The light sources may be located at the corners of the case and may emit infrared light. A relative pose between the smartphone and the head-worn device can be determined based on computer vision techniques performed on images captured by the head-worn device that includes light from the light sources. Relative movement between the smartphone and the head-worn device can be used to provide user input to the head-worn device, as can touch input on the portable device. In some instances, the case is powered inductively from the portable device.

    Abstract: A communication link is established between a first mobile device and a second mobile device using communication setup information in a machine-readable code that is displayed on a display of the second mobile device. The first mobile device captures and decodes an image of the machine-readable code to extract dynamically-generated communication setup information. A communication link is then established between the two devices using the communication setup information. The machine readable code may also be used as a fiducial marker to establish an initial relative pose between the two devices. Pose updates received from the second mobile device can then be used as user-interface inputs to the first mobile device.
