1. A three-dimensional menu system comprising:
- a display device;
at least a pair of hexahedral manual operation tools configured to be manually manipulated by a user;
an image acquisition device configured to acquire images of the manual operation tools; and
a menu augmenting unit configured to track the manual operation tools using the acquired images, add menu items to the acquired images at positions around the manual operation tools, and output the images to the display device,wherein the menu augmenting unit comprising;
a tracking unit configured to track the manual operation tools in the acquired images;
a menu organizing unit configured to organize menu items from previously stored menu information in response to manipulation of the manual operation tools; and
a rendering unit configured to add the organized menu items to the acquired images at positions around the manual operation tools and output the images to the display device.

Abstract
Disclosed is an augmented reality-based three-dimensional menu system using manual operation tools. According to the present invention, the three-dimensional menu system comprises: a display device; at least one pair of manual operation tools which are manually operated by the user, and are in a hexahedral shape; an image acquisition device which acquires images for the manual operation tools; and a menu augmentation unit which tracks the manual operation tools from the acquired images, and augments menu items in the vicinity of the manual operation tools of the acquired images, thereby outputting the augmented menu items to the display device.

10. Manual operation tools manually operable for use with a three-dimensional menu system in which images of the manual operation tools are acquired so as to track the manual operation tools in the acquired images, add menu items to the acquired images around the manual operation tools, and output the images to a displace device, the manual operation tools being characterized in that:
- the manual operation tools have a hexahedral shape and constitute at least one pair; and
the manual operation tools comprises a marker on each surface thereof, a central magnet at a center of each surface thereof, a rotation detecting unit and at least two hall sensors between two neighboring auxiliary magnets of the auxiliary magnets,wherein auxiliary magnets are arranged on each surface of the hexahedral manual operation tools around the center magnet at regular intervals, wherein a hall sensor detecting unit is disposed in the manual operation tools to detect outputs of the hall sensors, and wherein when one of the manual operation tools is rotated in a state where the manual operation tools are in contact with each other, the rotation detecting unit detects a rotation direction of the rotated manual operation tool based on an order of outputs of the hall sensors. - View Dependent Claims (11)
