Abstract

A three-dimensional interactive system includes at least one image capturing device, a processor and a display. The at least one image capturing device is used for sensing positional changes of an object with time along three axes in three-dimensions. The processor is used for generating image data according to the positional changes of the object with time along the three axes. The display is used for displaying the image data.

Claims

2. The three-dimensional interactive system of claim 1, further comprising at least one force feedback member for applying pressure to the object.

3. The three-dimensional interactive system of claim 2, wherein the at least one force feedback member is further configured to apply pressure to the object when a displayed position of image data of the object intersects a displayed position of image data a predetermined virtual object.

4. The three-dimensional interactive system of claim 1, wherein the three axes are perpendicular to one another.

5. The three-dimensional interactive system of claim 1, wherein the at least one image capturing device comprises a depth sensor.
