A technique for creating a control from a three-dimensional object involves registering the object as a controller. Markers are placed on the object in a constellation pattern. The object is captured in image data with the markers. A geometry of the three-dimensional is determined from the image data, and a location of the markers relative to the geometry is determined. The three-dimensional object is registered as a controller by associating the geometry with the marker locations. The constellation is tracked in additional image data and motion characteristics for the controller are determined based on a determined orientation of the constellation. The orientation of the constellation is used to determine an orientation of the controller. The determined orientation of the controller is then used for a user input action.
