Abstract: Recent advancements in extended reality (XR) technologies have heightened the demand for robust and intuitive input methods. Conventional optical tracking in VR/AR suffers from occlusion, thus severely undermining practicality. Magnetic sensing has emerged as a promising alternative due to its inherent resistance to occlusion, no drift, and low power consumption. However, popular tracking approaches, e.g., LM-based, are highly sensitive to initial parameter settings, while deep learning-based methods remain unsuitable for mobile scenarios. To address these limitations, we propose MagDelta, a novel extended input system combining differential magnetic field measurements with a deep learning framework. To reduce the overhead of data collection, we employed a combination of data synthesis and data interpolation strategies. Experiments show MagDelta achieves a 3D positioning error of 5.60 mm at 10 cm and a trajectory error of 2.06 mm. MagDelta demonstrates robustness to various real-world factors such as device orientation and environmental conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
