Abstract
Embodiments of systems and methods for Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) compensation for gesture recognition in virtual, augmented, and mixed reality (xR) applications are described. In an illustrative, non-limiting embodiment, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory having program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: receive a first set of images from a SLAM camera, wherein the first set of images captures movement of a Head-Mounted Device (HMD); calculate a transformation matrix based upon the first set of images; receive a second set of images from a gesture camera, wherein the second set of images captures a gesture; and apply the transformation matrix to the second set of images prior to recognizing the gesture.
