    Abstract: A method for dynamically initializing a 3 degrees of freedom (3DOF) tracking device is described. In one aspect, the method includes accessing a gyroscope signal from a gyroscope of the 3DOF tracking device, accessing an accelerometer signal from an accelerometer of the 3DOF tracking device, determining an initial state includes a combination of an initial orientation, an initial position, and an initial velocity of the 3DOF tracking device, the initial state indicating a starting condition of the 3DOF tracking device, integrating the gyroscope signal and the accelerometer signal to obtain orientation and position signals using the initial state, and refining an inclination signal of the orientation signal using the position signal.

    Abstract: A method for mitigating motion blur in a visual-inertial tracking system is described. In one aspect, the method includes accessing a first image generated by an optical sensor of the visual tracking system, accessing a second image generated by the optical sensor of the visual tracking system, the second image following the first image, determining a first motion blur level of the first image, determining a second motion blur level of the second image, identifying a scale change between the first image and the second image, determining a first optimal scale level for the first image based on the first motion blur level and the scale change, and determining a second optimal scale level for the second image based on the second motion blur level and the scale change.

    Abstract: A method for correcting a bending of a flexible device is described. In one aspect, the method includes accessing feature data of a first stereo frame that is generated by stereo optical sensors of the flexible device, the feature data generated based on a visual-inertial odometry (VIO) system of the flexible device, accessing depth map data of the first stereo frame, the depth map data generated based on a depth map system of the flexible device, estimating a pitch-roll bias and a yaw bias based on the features data and the depth map data of the first stereo frame, and generating a second stereo frame after the first stereo frame, the second stereo frame based on the pitch-roll bias and the yaw bias of the first stereo frame.

    Abstract: A method for improving the startup time of a six-degrees of freedom tracking system is described. An augmented reality system receives a device initialization request and activates a first set of sensors in response to the device initialization request. The augmented reality system receives first tracking data from the first set of sensors. The augmented reality system receives an augmented reality experience request and in response to the augmented reality request, causes display of a set of augmented reality content items based on the first tracking data and simultaneously activates a second set of sensors. The augmented reality system receives second tracking data from the activated second set of sensors. The augmented reality system updates the display of the set of augmented reality content items based on the second tracking data.
