Abstract
Techniques for switching among disparate Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) methods in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a host processor and a memory coupled to the host processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon available that, upon execution, cause the IHS to: identify a plurality of SLAM devices available to a virtual, augmented, or mixed reality (xR) application, wherein each of the plurality of SLAM devices implements a corresponding one of a plurality of SLAM methods; designate a primary SLAM method among the plurality of SLAM methods; and use the primary SLAM method to execute the xR application.
