20100027602 | TIME DELAY AND DISTANCE MEASUREMENT - A method for measuring time delay and distance may include providing an electromagnetic radiation carrier frequency and modulating one or more of amplitude, phase, frequency, polarization, and pointing angle of the carrier frequency with a return to zero (RZ) pseudo random noise (PN) code. The RZ PN code may have a constant bit period and a pulse duration that is less than the bit period. A receiver may detect the electromagnetic radiation and calculate the scattering profile versus time (or range) by computing a cross correlation function between the recorded received signal and a three-state RZ PN code kernel in the receiver. The method also may be used for pulse delay time (i.e., PPM) communications. | 02-04-2010 |

20090187389 | Immersive Collaborative Environment Using Motion Capture, Head Mounted Display, and Cave - A collaborative visualization system integrates motion capture and virtual reality, along with kinematics and computer-aided design (CAD), for the purpose, for example, of evaluating an engineering design. A virtual reality simulator creates a full-scale, three-dimensional virtual reality simulation responsive to computer-aided design (CAD) data. Motion capture data is obtained from users simultaneously interacting with the virtual reality simulation. The virtual reality simulator animates in real time avatars responsive to motion capture data from the users. The virtual reality simulation, including the interactions of the one or more avatars and also objects, is displayed as a three-dimensional image in a common immersive environment using one or more head mounted displays so that the users can evaluate the CAD design to thereby verify that tasks associated with a product built according to the CAD design can be performed by a predetermined range of user sizes. | 07-23-2009 |

A portable motion capture system tracks the movements of one or more trainers and records full-body motion capture data for one or more trainers performing one or more tasks. A virtual reality simulator receives the recorded motion capture data and animates scaled avatars within a three-dimensional virtual reality simulation responsive to recorded motion capture data. An immersive observation system displays the virtual reality simulation, including the animated avatars, as a three-dimensional image that appears to surround one or more trainees using one or more head mounted displays so that the one or more trainees can analyze the one or more tasks performed. | 08-27-2009 |
20090278917 | Providing A Collaborative Immersive Environment Using A Spherical Camera and Motion Capture - Embodiments of the present invention provide a collaborative visualization system, which integrates motion capture and virtual reality, along with kinematics and computer-aided design (CAD), for the purpose of, for example, validating a simulation with a real-world video. A spherical camera captures real-world video at a first location. At a second location, one or more head-mounted display devices display the captured real-world video and also display a simulation corresponding to the real-world video. A motion capture system captures head rotation information for one or more users to thereby to control a pan, tilt, and zoom of the real-world video so that when a position of a user's head changes, the portion of the real-world video displayed in the head-mounted display changes accordingly. Upon user input, a computer program product selects between displaying the real-world video and the simulation in the head-mounted display. | 11-12-2009 |
