Interactive input system having a 3D input space

摘要

Computerized methods and interactive input systems for manipulation of 3D objects are disclosed. An image of 3D object is displayed on a 2D interactive surface, and input is received and is interpreted for manipulating the 3D object. When the 3D object is selected, rotation control handles indicating available rotation directions are displayed. In one embodiment, the method comprises capturing images of a 3D input space, recognizing at least one object in the images, and comparing the recognized objects in the images to determine a difference therebetween based on a difference threshold. Depending on the outcome of the comparison, the recognized objects are emerged and associated with digital content, or only one of the recognized objects is maintained and associated with digital content.

主权项

1. A computerized method, comprising:
receiving images of a three-dimensional (3D) input space captured via a camera; displaying a graphic object corresponding to a first one of the captured images; displaying an enclosure around the periphery of the displayed graphic object upon selection of the graphic object, the enclosure having control elements associated therewith that enable manipulation of the displayed graphic object, wherein the control elements comprise a plurality of rotation control elements each associated with a different respective axis; updating the displayed graphic object based on a second one of the captured images and in response to manipulation of a marker within within the 3D input space; displaying the enclosure around the periphery of the updated graphic object; and manipulating the updated graphic object according to user interaction with at least one of the rotation control elements, wherein said manipulating comprises rotating the updated graphic object about the axis associated with the rotation control element interacted upon by the user.
