光学的3次元位置検出法を用いたリアルタイム人間動作入力デバイス

抄録

Real-time input devices of human body location and motion are important in virtual environments. In this paper, an optical 3D position detection system using a pair of optoelectronic semiconductor position sensing devices as real-time input device is mentioned. 3D positions of light emitting markers are derived by the principle of stereo photography, and an experimental system detecting multiple light emitting markers is implemented with simple electronics and a personal computer. Some potential applications suitable for this system in virtual environments are also proposed.
