Abstract:
1. A three-dimensional virtual input and simulation apparatus, comprising: a plurality of point light sources, wherein each point light source is capable of simultaneously and continuously emitting a point light source which is scattered; a plurality of 1D optical positioning devices, wherein each 1D optical positioning device having a visual axis tracking function receives a synchronization enable signal and all scattered light sources simultaneously emitted by the point light sources for measuring the 3D positions of all point light sources and outputting a set of physical quantities, and wherein each 1D optical positioning devices is equipped with a visual axis tracking function for automatically tracking the central group coordinate of all point light sources and the coordinate of one of the point light sources and outputting a visual axis angle of its own visual axis so as to achieve the visual axis tracking purpose, and each 1D optical positioning devices further is equipped with a visual axis positioning function to receive a visual axis angle for setting the angular direction of its own visual axis, so as to achieve the visual axis positioning purpose; and a control analysis unit, having a control analysis procedure being a software procedure, mainly used to connect and control all 1D optical positioning devices, wherein the control analysis unit outputs a synchronization enable signal for synchronously starting all 1D optical positioning devices to do the 3D position measurement, also outputs a set of visual axis angles for setting the angular direction of visual axis of each 1D optical positioning devices, so as to achieve the visual axis positioning purpose for all 1D optical positioning devices, and further receives all physical quantities and a set of a visual axis angles for simulating an input function of a physical input device, so as to achieve the virtual input purpose, and also simulates the motion of a physical object, so as to achieve the purpose of simulator; wherein the single 1D optical positioning devices with a visual axis tracking function comprises:
