Based on the consideration of common people for the three dimensions cognitive mode, since on the screen plane 17 shown three-dimension space image 16 can and the surface level 26 of cursor controller 12 and vertical plane 28 represented entities three dimensions between can set up to a certain degree consistance, therefore the user just very first directive controller 30 with on the surface level 26 of intuition control subject matter 18 in X axis and the axial rotation of Z, and with second directive controller 32 on the vertical plane 28 control subject matter 18 X axis and Y-axis to rotation.This instinct type control model of being set up by the corresponding relation between the three dimensions in entity and the image makes the Spin Control of three dimensions subject matter greatly simplify, it can allow the user very intuition study and operate the rotation of a certain subject matter in three-dimension space image.
Please refer to Fig. 2.Fig. 2 is the structural representation of first directive controller 30 in the cursor controller 12 shown in Figure 1.Directive controller 30 is a common trace ball, it includes a spheroid 40 and rotatably is located in the shell 24, two orthogonal first turning axles 42 and second turning axle 44 rotatably are located at and are used in the shell 24 doing mutually in order to detect the rotation of spheroid 40 with spheroid 40, one first Angular Displacement Detecting device 46 is used for detecting the rotation of this first turning axle 42 and produces corresponding first an angular displacement signal, and one second Angular Displacement Detecting device 48 is with the rotation that detects this second turning axle 44 and produce corresponding second an angular displacement signal.Each Angular Displacement Detecting device all includes a grating 50 and is located at an end of a turning axle and a sensing apparatus 52 and is used for the rotation of sensing grating 50 to produce this first or second angular displacement signal.
When spheroid 40 moves, first turning axle 42 and second turning axle 44 can be driven and the grating 50 of the first Angular Displacement Detecting device 46 and the second Angular Displacement Detecting device 48 is rotated, and this moment, sensing apparatus 52 just can produce corresponding first and second angular displacement signal because of the rotation that senses grating 50.Wherein the first angular displacement signal that produced of the first Angular Displacement Detecting device 46 is to be used for controlling subject matter 18 along the axial rotation of Z, and the second angular displacement signal that the second Angular Displacement Detecting device 48 is produced then is to be used for controlling the rotation of subject matter 18 along X-axis.
Also first directive controller 30 with shown in Figure 2 is identical for its structure of second directive controller 32 shown in Figure 1, it also includes a spheroid and rotatably is located on the vertical plane 28 of shell 24, two orthogonal turning axles rotatably are located at and are used in the shell 24 doing mutually in order to detecting the rotation of this spheroid with this spheroid, and two Angular Displacement Detecting devices be used for detecting the rotation of this second turning axle and produce two corresponding angular displacement signals be used for controlling subject matter 18 along X axis and Y-axis to rotation.
