Abstract:
1. A system for using a three-dimensional object as a controlling device when interfacing with a computer system, comprising: a camera configured to capture data from a three-dimensional space; the computer system being interfaced with the camera; storage being in communication with the computer system; and the computer system providing data to a display, the data defined to display a plurality of graphical display screens to enable set-up of a capture session to obtain geometric parameters of the three-dimensional object and assign actions to be performed with the three-dimensional object when moved in front of the camera during an interactive session, the geometric parameters and the assigned actions being saved to a database on the storage for access during the interactive session or future interactive sessions; wherein the assigned actions being custom defined for particular movements made on the three-dimensional object in front of the camera; wherein the three-dimensional object has a visible shape that is different based on a viewable perspective captured by the camera, and each visible shape coveys information.
