Description

Realistic 3D Game System {System for Realistic 3D Game}

The present invention relates to a realistic game system, and more particularly, to a realistic game system using a three-dimensional stereoscopic image display and an interactive user interface.

3D stereoscopic imaging is based on the fact that humans perceive stereoscopic vision with their two eyes. 3D stereoscopic images are taken with two cameras or a camera with twin lenses, one representing the left eye and the other the right eye. The two lenses are about 6.3 cm apart from each other's eyes. The image obtained here is projected onto the screen by two simultaneous projectors. The user must wear glasses with different shades or polarization to see the images of the left and right eyes as they appear. The user sees the images separately in reality, but in reality the two slightly different images are perceived in three-dimensional form because they are fused by the mind of the audience.

As such, the 3D image may be generated using a plurality of cameras and polarized glasses, or may be generated without using polarized glasses.

Traditional online chess, chess, and go games can be played online with others away. Looking at the game board on the monitor screen, I played a game by operating a separate input device such as a mouse or keyboard. However, I didn't feel that I was playing with someone because I could only see the avatar or picture of the other party and not see the real-time figure.

The foregoing and further aspects of the present invention will become more apparent through the preferred embodiments described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Hereinafter will be described in detail to enable those skilled in the art to easily understand and reproduce through this embodiment of the present invention.

Recently, each country is developing technology using motion recognition function, but the core source technology related to Interactive 3D is still in the early stage of development. Core technologies related to interactive 3D include free vision 3D, time of flight (TOF) 3D sensor technology, contactless space tactile technology, and contextual 3D object processing technology.

In other words, with the development of IT technology, public interest in 3D technology and marketability are increasing gradually, and 3D convergence industry is emerging as a new new industry. In addition, although the 3D-related market has been applied in a limited range of markets for the public, such as exhibition halls, experi- ence halls, or movie theaters, as the 3D interaction function converges, the information market that can be used by the general public expands to the electronics market. Will cause.

Interactive 3D technology is expected to create a new business model for the home network information and electronics industry. In addition, incorporating interactive UI technology into 3D video makes it intuitive and easy to operate, so that the user can feel realism and interest in the operation itself.

Accordingly, the present invention proposes a realistic 3D stereoscopic game system. An immersive 3D stereoscopic game system can make you feel as if you are actually playing a game like chess, go, or chess. The game board looks three-dimensional with a table-shaped 3D display. The user can feel the touch of a game horse as if touching a real object, and can feel the image and the feeling of physically moving the word of the game. That is, the realistic 3D stereoscopic game system of the present invention expresses the appearance of the opponent and the end of the game in a stereoscopic image, so that the actual opponent may feel as if they are directly in front.

2 is a block diagram of a realistic 3D stereoscopic game system according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, the configuration of the realistic 3D stereoscopic game system according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 2, the immersive game system includes a 3D display module 210, a stereoscopic image composition module 220, a spatial touch recognition module 230, a spatial tactile stimulation module 240, an interaction computing module 250, and a game server ( 260). Obviously, other configurations may be included in the realistic game system in addition to the above-described configuration.

The user recognizes the 3D image displayed by the 3D display module 210. The 3D display module 210 includes a vertical 3D display module that expresses the appearance of the opponent in a three-dimensional sense and a horizontal 3D display module that expresses the operation of the game board and the game board.

The horizontal 3D display is not a typical display hanging on the wall, but a free visual 3D display in the form of a table. That is, by displaying a virtual 3D object horizontally present on the table as if it is actually present on the table, it is possible to convey the game board and the feeling of manipulating the game board to the users.

The present invention may include a flash hologram display module that implements a flash hologram display function in addition to the 3D display module 210. The flash hologram display module may be used simultaneously with the main 3D display module 210 in the table type interactive 3D system, and partially expresses a perfect multiview 3D object.

In general, a hologram means a three-dimensional photograph generated by holography, and records an interference pattern of light such as laser light on a recording medium such as a film or a photosensitive dry plate. The holography method uses the principle of recording and reproducing an interference signal obtained by superposing coherent reference light with light from a subject, and is an ideal display method for implementing a three-dimensional image. The hologram reproduces the three-dimensional image of an object.

In the context of the present invention, the flash hologram display module makes the game board appear to exist on a plane, and makes the upper body screen of the other party appear to float through the 3D display module 210. In addition, the 3D display module 210 also expresses a hand gesture and a game word being operated when the opponent manipulates the game board in a stereoscopic image so that the opponent can receive a virtual reality as if they are actually in front of the eyes.

3 illustrates a horizontal image displayed by a vertical display module and a vertical image displayed by a vertical display module according to an embodiment of the present invention.

The vertical display module displays the appearance of the game opponent, and the horizontal display module displays the game board and the operation of the game board. According to FIG. 3 (a), the user can enjoy the game as if the horse of the game board, which is displayed as a three-dimensional image, is actually picked up and moved by using a depth camera. According to FIG. 3 (b), the game counterpart may check a hologram of an image in which a user lifts and moves a word of a game board.

The present invention as described above can increase the fun of the game by providing a moving image of the game by hand while watching the appearance of the opponent in real time.

The stereoscopic image composition module 220 is a module for configuring the appearance of a user to be shown to the other party. By using a plurality of depth cameras to shoot the user's front half and the arm to operate the game board from multiple angles to construct a real-time 3D stereoscopic image.

The spatial touch recognition module 230 recognizes whether the user touches the image displayed by the 3D display. That is, the space touch recognition module 230 implements a high precision 3D space sensing function for interworking with a 3D object by recognizing a user's action or hand gesture. An example of the spatial touch recognition module 230 includes a 3D depth sensor module of a high resolution TOF method. The 3D depth sensor module has strong interference by lighting and has the advantage of being able to analyze and interact with space in real time.

In addition, the 3D depth sensor module constitutes a front portion and includes an infrared pulse output unit and an infrared pulse receiver unit. The infrared pulse output unit outputs an infrared pulse from the front of the 3D depth sensor module, and the infrared pulse input unit receives an infrared pulse reflected from the infrared pulse output from the infrared pulse output unit and reflected back to the object. The 3D depth sensor module measures the time when the infrared pulse output infrared pulse is reflected by the object and returned. Using the measured time, the 3D depth sensor module calculates the distance to the object.

Through this, it is possible to detect which game the user is currently operating, and obtain information to make the word of the game appear to be physically moving according to the user's motion.

The spatial tactile stimulation module 240 provides the user with a touch when the user touches the image displayed by the 3D display module 210 in the interactive 3D system. The spatial tactile stimulation module 240 feeds back the tactile sense set in the context of the virtual 3D object along with the 3D display output information processed by the interactive 3D middleware to the user. The user can be provided with a realistic image by recognizing the tactile stimulus in addition to the visual 3D stimulus. The tactile stimulus may use ultrasonic stimulation or jet air stimulation. That is, the tactile stimulus may be provided to the user by the ultrasonic stimulus for concentrating the ultrasonic waves and the jet air stimulus for providing pressure with general jet compressed air.

The interaction computing module 250 receives the sensing information of the 3D space transmitted from the spatial touch recognition module 230, processes the virtual object position and the context information of the 3D space, and provides the user with a 3D display and tactile stimulation interface. It acts as a middleware for feedback. The interaction computing module 250 may access and process the 3D media data stored in the high performance storage connected to the system and the interaction data of the game server database.

The game server 260 determines whether or not the end of the game is inconsistent with the game rules by using the stereoscopic image information and the spatial sensing information configured on the user side, and determines the win or loss. Stereoscopic image data and spatial sensing information is transmitted to the other party.

While the present invention has been particularly shown and described with reference to exemplary embodiments thereof, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that various changes in form and details may be made therein without departing from the scope of the present invention .
