METHODS, SYSTEMS, APPARATUSES, AND DEVICES FOR FACILITATING PROVISIONING OF A VIRTUAL EXPERIENCE
A system includes an event camera mounted in a cockpit of an aircraft, a pre-mapped data set representing the cockpit and a processor adapted to determine a location and a position of a head-mountable device comprising one or more visual markers based, at least in part, on data from the event camera and the pre-mapped data set, wherein the data from the event camera comprises at least one image comprising a portion of the cockpit represented by the pre-mapped data set and one or more of the visual markers.
1 . A system, comprising:
an event camera mounted in a cockpit of an aircraft;
a pre-mapped data set representing the cockpit; and
a processor adapted to determine a location and a position of a head-mountable device comprising one or more visual markers based, at least in part, on data from the event camera and the pre-mapped data set;
wherein the data from the event camera comprises at least one image comprising a portion of the cockpit represented by the pre-mapped data set and one or more of the visual markers.
2 . The system of claim 1 , further comprising a lidar system mounted within the cockpit.
3 . The system of claim 2 , wherein the processor is further adapted to fuse the data from the event camera with data from the lidar system.
4 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the event camera is mounted to an interior of the cockpit.
5 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the event camera is mounted on the body of a pilot of the aircraft.
6 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the event camera is mounted on the head of a pilot of the aircraft.
7 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the visual markers comprise active markers selected from the group consisting of light emitting diodes and OLEDs.
8 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the visual markers comprise inactive markers selected from the group consisting of paint, stickers, reflectors, IR reflectors and UV reflectors.
9 . A method comprising:
transmitting mmWave data signals;
receiving location data from a plurality of processor chips each affixed to a viewing apparatus the data indicative of an instantaneous position of each of the plurality of processor chips; and
determining based, at least in part, on the location data of the plurality of processor chips a position and viewing angle of the viewing apparatus.
10 . The method of claim 7 , wherein the received location data is fused with one or more additional datasets selected from the group comprising LIDAR data and GPS data.
11 . The method of claim 7 , further comprising utilizing the determined position to direct data communication to the viewing apparatus.
12 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the mmWave data signals are transmitted from one or more mmWave base stations each having a known location.
13 . The method of claim 12 , wherein each of the mmWave base stations operate in accordance with at least one of 5G and 6G.
14 . The method of claim 9 , wherein the determining comprises combining the data indicative of an instantaneous position of each of the plurality of processor chips with data from at least on IMU located within the viewing apparatus.
15 . The method of claim 1 , where the viewing apparatus is located on an athlete engaged in a sporting endeavor.
16 . The method of claim 1 , where the viewing apparatus is located on an automobile engaged in a race.
