There’s outside-in tracking: cameras are aimed at the user, the user is wearing sensors, and all of those data points are processed in a virtual environment. Then there’s inside-out tracking, wherein AR or VR headsets—like the Meta’s Quest 2—use outward-facing cameras to capture the space in front of the wearer.
that this is “super hard, and basically not workable just from a physics standpoint with existing headsets.”software-based techniques for processing leg movements and replicating them in computer graphics, such as inverse kinematics, which is what Spatial is using. This relies on mathematical equations, which factor in the constraints of the typical flexibility of the human body, to calculate what position a VR user’s legs arein. But these are just estimations of how your legs might be moving.
