Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An example information processing device calculates an attitude of an input unit having a magnetic sensor. The information processing device repeatedly obtains detected magnetic vectors detected by the magnetic sensor. The information processing device repeatedly estimates a center position of a spherical body having a curved surface which is estimated based on end point positions of the detected magnetic vectors. The attitude of the input unit is calculated based on a direction vector representing a direction from the center position to the end point position of the detected magnetic vector. Each time a detected magnetic vector is obtained, the information processing device updates the center position so that at least some of lengths from the center position to end points of the detected magnetic vectors used for the estimation of the center position are brought closer to an average between the lengths.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing an information processing program to be executed by a computer of an information processing device for calculating an attitude of an input unit having a magnetic sensor that is structurally part of or related to the input unit, the information processing program configuring the computer to execute: repeatedly obtaining detected magnetic vectors detected by the magnetic sensor; repeatedly estimating…
