Abstract: Data processing apparatus comprises a camera to capture successive images according to an image capture period; an optically detectable indicator having multiple optically detectable states and configured to transition between the multiple optically detectable states according to a transition pattern having interspersed periods in the multiple optically detectable states; the transition pattern including a reference period and two or more second periods which are shorter than the image capture period and which are separated by a separation period different to the image capture period; and a processor to detect timing information from images captured by the camera of the optically detectable indicator.

Abstract: A data processing device includes a plurality of cameras arranged according to a predetermined configuration, where each camera is configured to capture successive images and to detect a current location of one or more elements in the captured images with respect to a coordinate system of the camera, a processor to generate a common camera coordinate system in dependence upon the respective coordinate systems of the plurality of cameras, the common camera coordinate system comprising a set of locations in a three-dimensional space included within the field of view of the plurality of cameras, and a detector to detect a current location of a given element with respect to the common camera coordinate system based on images captured by the plurality of cameras, wherein for each camera, the processor is configured, in response to a detection by the detector that the current location of the given element corresponds to a location in the set of locations of the common camera coordinate system, to generate first data for that location in the set of locations indicative of a mapping between the coordinate system for the camera and the common camera coordinate system, and wherein in response to a detection of a location in the set of locations for which the first data is indicative of the mapping for two or more cameras with respect to the common camera coordinate system, the processor is configured to generate second data for that location indicative of a mapping between the coordinate systems for the two or more cameras.

Abstract: Virtual reality apparatus comprises a display generator to generate images of a virtual environment, including a virtual representation of a display object and at least part of an avatar, for display to a user; a haptic interface comprising one or more actuators to provide a physical interaction with the user in response to a haptic interaction signal; a detector arrangement configured to detect two or more haptic detections applicable to a current configuration of the avatar relative to the object in the virtual environment; and a haptic generator to generate the haptic interaction signal in dependence upon the two or more haptic detections.
