Abstract:
A tracking method is disclosed. The method may include displaying visual content on a screen. A base station may be stationary with respect to the screen while the visual content is being displayed. In contrast, one or more objects may move with respect to the screen while the visual content is being displayed. The one or more objects may be tracked so that the movement thereof may be used to alter the visual content. Such tracking may involve the base station and the one or more objects sending and/or receiving one or more ultrasonic pulses. Time-difference-of-arrival and/or time-of-flight of the one or more ultrasonic pulses may then be used to estimate a relative location and/or a relative orientation of the one or more objects with respect to the base station in three dimensional space.
