Abstract: A system for detecting and tracking a hover position of a manual pointing device, such as finger(s), on a handheld electronic device may include overlaying a rendered mono-chromatic keying screen, or green screen, on a user interface, such as a keyboard, of the handheld electronic device. A position of the finger(s) relative to the keyboard may be determined based on the detection of the finger(s) on the green screen and a known arrangement of the keyboard. An image of the keyboard and the position of the finger(s) may be rendered and displayed, for example, on a head mounted display, to facilitate user interaction via the keyboard with a virtual immersive experience generated by the head mounted display.

Abstract: A method for controller tracking with multiple degrees of freedom includes generating depth data at an electronic device based on a local environment proximate the electronic device. A set of positional data is generated for at least one spatial feature associated with a controller based on a pose of the electronic device, as determined using the depth data, relative to the at least one spatial feature associated with the controller. A set of rotational data is received that represents three degrees-of-freedom (3DoF) orientation of the controller within the local environment, and a six degrees-of-freedom (6DoF) position of the controller within the local environment is tracked based on the set of positional data and the set of rotational data.

Abstract: In one aspect, a method and system are described for receiving input for a virtual user in a virtual environment. The input may be based on a plurality of movements performed by a user accessing the virtual environment. Based on the plurality of movements, the method and system can include detecting that at least one portion of the virtual user is within a threshold distance of a collision zone, the collision zone being associated with at least one virtual object. The method and system can also include selecting a collision mode for the virtual user based on the at least one portion and the at least one virtual object and dynamically modifying the virtual user based on the selected collision mode.

Abstract: A system for tracking a first electronic device, such as a handheld smartphone, in a virtual reality environment generated by a second electronic device, such as a head mounted display may include detection, by a camera included in one of the first electronic device or the second electronic device, of at least one visual marker included on the other of the first electronic device or the second electronic device. Features detected within the field of view corresponding to known features of the visual markers may be used to locate and track movement of the first electronic device relative to the second electronic device, so that movement of the second electronic device may be translated into an interaction in a virtual experience generated by the second electronic device.
