Immersive experiences like virtual reality require accurate tracking of the headset and other accessories like hand-motion controllers. WiCapture is a system that achieves sub-centimeter-level accuracy of virtual reality accessories using commodity WiFi devices.
- WiCapture does not require special hardware, it uses commodity APs that can be bought in retail stores.
- WiCapture is occlusion resistant, it continues to work even when the APs and headsets are occluded due to furniture or other objects in between.
- WiCapture has larger range and operates across rooms.
- It is insensitive to room illumination or texture and it can work in the dark. Further, headset complexity is minimal, all the headset needs is a standard WiFi chip.
