Abstract

Underpinning much work on the use of Virtual Reality technologies in design prototyping, is the need to reliably track the 3D position of a physical object in real space, then allowing synchronisation with a digital counterpart. With many tracking methods requiring changes to object geometry, this work develops and benchmarks four minimally invasiveness 6 DoF tracking approaches, before discussing their use in a prototyping context. Results show that using AI and point cloud methods, accuracies of 20mm at 20Hz are achievable on low-end hardware with no alterations to the prototype needed.
