Patent attributes
A motion capture and spatial translation system comprises an infinite directional travel platform (IDTP) that includes a hollow vessel having an elliptical lower body and a flat upper body, a treadmill motion surface encapsulating the hollow vessel, an intervening layer of lubricant fluid between the treadmill motion surface and the hollow vessel, and a port integrated within the vessel to define a channel for movement of the lubricant fluid from a top to a bottom of the vessel. A host frame supports the IDTP and anchors motor-controlled wheels that induce movement of the treadmill motion surface relative to the hollow vessel. Computer vision enabled cameras capture direction, speed, and acceleration of foot movements of the user to anticipate the user's path of travel and activates and controls the treadmill motion surface in real time.
