1. Field of Technology: 3D Tracking/Gesture Device
Briefly speaking, it is 100% sure for us to develop a new 3D input device, or man-machine interface, with relative low
cost which exactly can do the same performance as the one shown by the film of Minority
Report(http://tw.youtube.com/watch?v=Kz_vWtAvk1k).

(2) Video Demo: http://www.unii.com.tw/3d_input_device/3id_demo.htm
(3) Comparison with other 3D solutions: http://www.unii.com.tw/3d_input_device/3id_comparison.htm
3. Future Performance(Key Components Being Optimized)
We strongly believe that our future 3D is the one and only one in the world at this time which can satisfy all of the
following requirements(conditions for commercialization)
(1)Multiple fingers(or points) tracking in 3D space(absolute position): can be 3 points for each hand(3x2 points)
(2)Fast sampling rate: can be as fast as 1KHz
(3)Large detectable volume: can be larger than 2Mx2Mx2M
(4)High spatial resolution: can be less than 0.1mm in the detectable space
(5)Low manufacturing cost: can be as less as few tens of US$
4. More Resource for Commercialization and Advanced Research
Need more resource and financial support to commercialize the current achievement and do more advanced research on
this tracking technology. The final goal is to develop an ultimate 3D capturing and positioning device without the wear
of any lighting components(LED).

Patent #1
Filed Date: March 12, 2008
Applied No.: 12/047,159
METHOD OF RECOGNIZING AND TRACKING A SPATIAL POINT
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
[0001] The present invention relates to a method of recognizing and tracking a
spatial point, and more particularly to a method of using a point light source and a
spatial point recognition device to measure the coordinates of the point light source
and the coordinates of the convergent point of the spatial point recognition device
based on the principle of parallax of human eyes, so as to achieve the purpose of
recognizing the position of a spatial point. Further, the spatial point recognition
device is capable of moving the convergent point, such that the coordinates of the
convergent point are superimposed onto the coordinates of the point light source,
so as to achieve the purpose of tracking a spatial point automatically. At the same
time, the spatial point recognition device can also receive the coordinates of a new
convergent point to reset the position of the convergent point, so as to achieve the
purpose of resetting the convergent point.
