Apparatus, system and method for virtual user interface
First Claim
1. A virtual user interface apparatus comprising:
- a movement detection unit for detecting a movement degree of an actual hand;
a bend detection and restriction unit for detecting a bend degree of a finger of the actual hand and restricting the bend of the finger when a control signal is received from a host device; and
an external interface unit for transferring the detected movement degree and the bend degree to the host device, and receiving and transferring the control signal, which is generated by the host device by use of the movement degree, the bend degree, and information on a certain 3-dimensional (3D) shape, to the bend detection and restriction unit.

Abstract
A Virtual user interface apparatus, system, and method are provided, wherein the virtual user interface apparatus comprises a movement detection unit for detecting a movement degree of an actual hand, a bend detection and restriction unit for detecting a bend degree of a finger of the actual hand and restricting the bend of the finger when a control signal is received from a host device, and an external interface unit for transferring the detected movement degree and the bend degree to the host device, and receiving and transferring the control signal, which is generated by the host device by use of the movement degree, the bend degree, and information on a certain 3-dimensional shape, to the bend detection and restriction unit Accordingly, the grip of a product can be virtually examined without having to make a mock-up of the product. Thus, money and time are saved by not making a mock-up of the product
