Featured Wand for 3D Interaction

Our featured wand, automatically tracked by video cameras, provides an inexpensive and natural way for users to input 3D data or interact with devices such as large displays. The wand supports six degrees of freedom for manipulation of 3D applications like Google Earth. Our system uses a ‘line scan’ to estimate the wand pose tracking which simplifies processing. Several applications are demonstrated.
