VISUAL SURROGATE FOR INDIRECT EXPERIENCE AND APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An apparatus for providing a visual surrogate for indirect experience, comprising:
- a synchronization setup unit for setting up synchronization models between a surrogate, a real object and virtual objects corresponding to the surrogate and the real object, wherein the surrogate is a substitute for a remote user and the virtual objects are displayed in a control space;
a control space generation unit for generating the control space required to input commands for the surrogate and the real object and to output surrounding information sensed by the surrogate; and
a service provision unit for generating an application in which the synchronization models and the control space are packaged.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a technology for utilizing an indirect experience without copying a real world to a virtual world. An apparatus for providing a visual surrogate for indirect experience according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a synchronization setup unit for setting up synchronization models between a surrogate, a real object and virtual objects corresponding to the surrogate and the real object, wherein the surrogate is a substitute for a remote user and the virtual objects are displayed in a control space. A control space generation unit generates the control space required to input commands for the surrogate and the real object and to output surrounding information sensed by the surrogate. A service provision unit generates an application in which the synchronization models and the control space are packaged.

7. A visual surrogate for indirect experience, comprising:
-
a command analysis unit for analyzing a command received from a remote user to manipulate a virtual object present in a control space; a surrogate control unit for matching and mapping the virtual object with and to a real object corresponding to the virtual object by using an externally received synchronization model, and generating a control command required to manipulate the real object in compliance with the analyzed command; an object control unit for manipulating the real object in compliance with the control command; and an operation control unit for controlling a physical operation required to manipulate the real object in compliance with the control command. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
