Abstract

Up to now in mobile Virtual Reality (VR), we have been able to only control the camera orientation with our head. However, premium smartphones already incorporate the essential technology to track user position. Apple ARKit and Google ARCore designed for Augmented Reality (AR) applications are already enabled in millions of phones. Both libraries can be used to achieve 6DoF mobile VR. This contribution combines head orientation tracking provided by the VR headset with the position tracking capability provided by Google ARCore to achieve 6DoF tracking in mobile VR.
