Abstract:
1. A method of configuring a three-dimensional (3D) information input device which performs information input operations using a plurality of finger devices that are worn by a user and senses the user's finger movement, the method comprising steps of: obtaining movement signals output from each of the finger devices and recognizing finger positions of the finger device representing positions of fingers by which the finger device are worn; and adaptively configuring the 3D input device corresponding to signals which are provided from the plurality of the finger devices worn by a user, by using information of the recognized finger positions of the finger device; wherein the adaptively configuring the 3D input device comprises determining the number of fingers on which the plurality of devices are worn and assigning differing configurations to the input device based on the number of fingers which are wearing a finger device; and wherein the result of the input operation is determined by a combination of the finger positions and the assigned configuration of the input device.
