A Miniature, One-Handed 3D Motion Controller
نویسنده
چکیده
Users of three-dimensional computer-aided design (CAD) and gaming applications need to manipulate virtual objects in up to six degrees of rotational and translation freedom (DOF). To date, no 3D controller provides one-handed 6DOF input with miniature size and low cost. This paper presents a prototype of the first one-handed 6DOF motion controller suitable for use in portable platforms such as laptop computers, mobile telephones and hand-held game consoles. It is based on an optical sensor combined with novel planar spring mechanics, and can be easily manufactured using low-cost materials and processes.

Homography-based Pose Estimation to Guide a Miniature Helicopter during 3d-trajectory Tracking
This work proposes a pose-based visual servoing control, through using planar homography, to estimate the position and orientation of a miniature helicopter relative to a known pattern. Once having the current flight information, the nonlinear underactuated controller presented in one of our previous works, which attends all flight phases, is used to guide the rotorcraft during a 3Dtrajectory t...
متن کاملThe props-based interface for neurosurgical visualization.
We describe a three-dimensional human-computer interface for neurosurgical visualization. The interface is based on the two-handed physical manipulation of hand-held tools, or "props", in free space. These user interface "props" facilitate transfer of the user's skills for manipulating tools with two hands to the operation of a user interface for visualizing 3D medical images, without need for ...
متن کاملModeling, Control and Simulation of Cascade Control Servo System for one Axis Gimbal Mechanism
The gimbal stabilization mechanism is used to provide the stability to an object mounted on the gimbal by isolating it from the base angular motion and vibration. The purpose of this paper is to present a model of control servo system for one axis gimbal mechanism using a cascade PID controller. The gimbal torque relationships are derived by taking into consideration the base angular motion. Th...
متن کاملDeveloping an open source exertion interface for two-handed 3D and 6DOF motion tracking and visualisation
Novel technologies offer the potential for tracking and visualizing whole body movement in new ways which opens up possibilities for creating new forms of interaction. We highlight the problems and opportunities for designing for and the visualising of six degree of freedom (6DOF) motion tracking for absolute, two-handed input using the Nintendo Wiimote as our baseline platform and a playground...
متن کاملFuzzy Controller Design for Quadruped Robot Posture Control
In this paper, motion patterns of a giant entertainment quadruped robot’s head, body and tail parts are analyzed and extracted. Then, a fuzzy controller is designed in order to obtain life-like motion. Motion data are derived using 3D animation during robot’s walking and an organization mechanism is produced to obtain this kind of data. This paper introduces a data extraction method using a 3D ...
