Three dimensional wireless pointing device for calculating coordinates and controlling a position of a cursor in a three dimensional space is disclosed, including a transmission side having a plurality of ultrasonic wave generating parts and a single infrared ray emitting part or a single ultrasonic wave generating part and a plurality of infrared ray emitting parts arranged in a certain axis direction at certain angles and a reception side having a plurality of infrared ray receiving sensors and a single ultrasonic wave receiving sensor arranged to cross the ultrasonic wave generating part(s) and the infrared ray emitting part(s) in the transmission side at a right angle, thereby to measure intensities of the infrared ray(s) and the ultrasonic wave(s) varied depending on direction of pointing and calculate a difference of relative traveling time periods of the infrared ray and the ultrasonic wave to obtain coordinate values of a position in a three dimensional space, whereby a position of cursor or menu, which is a control objective, can be controlled using the obtained coordinate values.
