Input device for use in an augmented/virtual reality environment

This is a specialized pen designed for interacting with virtual or augmented reality. You hold one straight part, and the other part is bent into a geometric, polygonal loop. This uniquely shaped part contains electronics that help the system track the pen's exact position in 3D space, allowing you to use it as an input device within the virtual world.

Why it matters: Filed when AR/VR tracking systems were less mature, the miniaturization and accuracy of 3D tracking sensors and algorithms have significantly advanced since 2018. This could make the specific polygonal loop design for emitter/sensor placement more effective or easier to implement for precise interaction in today's more sophisticated AR/VR environments.

Status: Not in forceListed as no longer active. The specific reason is not in the record we hold.
How hard to build: SpecializedCustom housing, integrated electronics, tracking sensors
