Abstract

A technology for tracking motion of a wearable sensor system uses a combination a RGB (red, green, and blue) and IR (infrared) pixels of one or more cameras. In particular, it relates to capturing gross features and feature values of a real world space using RGB pixels and capturing fine features and feature values of the real world space using IR pixels. It also relates to enabling multi-user collaboration and interaction in an immersive virtual environment. It also relates to capturing different sceneries of a shared real world space from the perspective of multiple users. It further relates to sharing content between wearable sensor systems. In further relates to capturing images and video streams from the perspective of a first user of a wearable sensor system and sending an augmented version of the captured images and video stream to a second user of the wearable sensor system.
