Abstract
Provided are a controlling apparatus for physical effects and a method thereof. After setting up a mapping relationship between at least one marker attached to a human body and an at least one effect output unit, a three-dimensional coordinate of the marker is recognized to be mapped onto cyberspace, and upon entry of the marker into a pre-set area within cyberspace, a physical effect output command is transmitted to the at least one effect output unit.
Claims6
A controlling apparatus for physical effects in cyberspace comprising:
- a marker recognition unit that recognizes a three-dimensional coordinate of at least one marker attached on a human body;
- a cyberspace mapping unit that maps the three-dimensional coordinate recognized by the marker recognition unit onto cyberspace;
- a storage unit that stores a mapping relationship between first and second identification information, wherein the first identification information is allocated to the at least one marker and the second identification information is allocated to at least one effect output unit that outputs the physical effects;
- and
- a control unit that commands the at least one effect output unit to output physical effects that are pre-set with respect to a pre-determined area upon entry of the at least one marker into the pre-determined area within the cyberspace, wherein the effect output unit corresponds the second identification information having the mapping relationship with the first identification information of the entry marker.

A method of controlling physical effects in cyberspace, the method comprising:
- setting up a mapping relationship between at least one marker attached to a human body and an at least one effect output unit;
- recognizing a three-dimensional coordinate of the at least one marker;
- mapping the three-dimensional coordinate of the at least one marker onto cyberspace;
- recognizing whether the at least one marker enters a pre-determined area within the cyberspace;
- and
- transmitting a physical effect output command to the at least one effect output unit in the mapping relationship with the at least one marker upon the entry of the at least one marker into the pre-determined area, wherein the physical effect output command is pre-set with respect to the pre-determined area.
