| Title: |
System and Method for Controlling Fixtures Based on Tracking Data |
| Abstract: |
Systems and methods are provided for using tracking data to control the
functions of an automated fixture. Examples of automated fixtures include
light fixtures and camera fixtures. A method includes obtaining a first
position of a tracking unit. The tracking unit includes an inertial
measurement unit and a visual indicator configured to be tracked by a
camera. A first distance is computed between the automated fixture and
the first position and it is used to set a function of the automated
fixture to a first setting. A second position of the tracking unit is
obtained. A second distance between the automated fixture and the second
position is computed, and the second distance is used to set the function
of the automated fixture to a second setting.
