Abstract

A three-dimensional model, a display module, a motion capture module and a perspective switch module is provided. The perspective switch module is respectively connected to the display module and the motion capture module. A preset-sized graphic displaying area is defined in the display module. The motion capture module changes the relative position between the graphic displaying area and the three-dimensional model according to the manipulation of the user. The perspective switch module adjusts the three-dimensional model according to the control instruction transmitted by the motion capture module. Simultaneously, the different graphic data are displayed within the graphic displaying area. The graphic data are the projections of the three-dimensional model in the plane of graphic displaying area.
