Abstract
An apparatus, system, and method for controlling a virtual object. The virtual object is controlled by detecting a hand motion of a user and generating an event corresponding to the hand motion. Accordingly, the user may control the virtual object displayed on a 3-dimensional graphic user interface (3D GUI) more intuitively and efficiently.
Claims15
A virtual object control apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a receiving unit to receive detection information related to a user from a sensor;
- a processing unit to extract hand motion information related to hand motions of the user from the received detection information;
- a generation unit to generate an event corresponding to the extracted hand motion information;
- and
- a control unit to control a virtual object displayed on a 3-dimensional graphic user interface (3D GUI), based on the generated event.
