SIMULTANEOUS LOCALIZATION AND MAPPING (SLAM) COMPENSATION FOR GESTURE RECOGNITION IN VIRTUAL, AUGMENTED, AND MIXED REALITY (xR) APPLICATIONS

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.
