Patent attributes
A system includes a head-mounted display (HMD) and one or more beacon devices. A beacon device includes a receiver to receive a first type of energy, a conversion apparatus to convert the first type of energy into a second type of energy, and a transmitter to transmit the second type of energy to the HMD. The HMD includes a display, a structure adapted to position the display in a field-of-view of the user, a sensor to receive the second type of energy from the beacon device, and a processor. The processor is programmed to receive the second type of energy from the beacon device located in a real-world environment, determine a position of the beacon device based on the second type of energy received from the beacon device, and provide a stimulus to a user on the HMD based on the position of the beacon device.
