LOW-POWER NEAR-BEAM WIRELESS INDUCTIVE CHARGING HUB
DRIVE
September 28, 2023
Prior art systems can achieve full-body motion capture without external cameras; however, these systems are often expensive, limit the user's movements to a specified area, require the user to wear a specialized full-body suit, have a high device count, may be fully wired and/or require an energy-intensive WiFi connection. These systems also often require a thorough calibration procedure before each use and can lose their calibration when moving to different areas. The presently disclosed technology is directed to systems and methods for providing full-body motion capture in non-controlled environments where using multiple known camera perspectives is not possible or practical. Specifically, the presently disclosed technology utilizes a wireless inductive charging system including a charging hub with an array of docking stations for selectively charging an array of battery-powered sensing devices, such as a set of trackers and a link.
