Patent attributes
An augmented reality (AR) system that includes a viewing device and a power pack linked to the viewing device, with the power pack including a primary orientation sensor, an orientation engine, and an AR engine. In some embodiments, the primary orientation sensor is operable to measure orientation of the power pack, the orientation engine is operable to calculate an orientation of the viewing device based on a relationship between the power pack and the viewing device, and the AR engine is operable to generate AR data that varies in response to the calculated viewing device orientation and to determine or update the relationship between orientations of the power pack and the viewing device, for example, by polling a secondary orientation sensor in the viewing device. Other embodiments, related power packs, and methods are also disclosed.
