Paper Abstract
This paper presents our efforts to accurately track a Head-Mounted Display (HMD) in a large
environment. We review our current benchtop prototype (introduced in {WCF9O]), then describe our plans
for building the full-scale system. Both systems use an inside-oui optical tracking scheme, where lateraleffect
photodiodes mounted on the user's helmet view flashing infrared beacons placed in the environment.
Church's method uses the measured 2D image positions and the known 3D beacon locations to recover the
3D position and orientation of the helmet in real-time. We discuss the implementation and performance of
the benchtop prototype. The full-scale system design includes ceiling panels that hold the infrared beacons
and a new sensor arrangement of two photodiodes with holographic lenses. In the full-scale system, the user
can walk almost anywhere under the grid of ceiling panels, making the working volume nearly as large as
the room.
