隨著電子科技以及影像處理技術的快速演進,由電腦所建構出的虛擬實境(Virtual Reality,VR)已逐漸被廣泛地運用於資訊傳播、娛樂或展示上。現今的虛擬實境產品都強調人機互動性,不論是互動訓練模擬器、互動玩具或互動電視遊樂器等,使用者可透過頭戴式顯示器與控制把手(control handle)等裝備來進行操作。其中,虛擬實境的畫面來自於頭戴式顯示器,而控制把手則是用來對虛擬實境中的物件進行操作。舉例而言,使用者 操作控制把手上的按鈕或觸控板,以配合在虛擬實境中的抓取、點選或丟擲等各種動作。 With the rapid evolution of electronic technology and image processing technology, Virtual Reality (VR) constructed by computers has gradually been widely used in information dissemination, entertainment or display.

In addition, a single form of control handle has been unable to meet the needs for various games such as shootouts, sports and other applications.

In this embodiment, the
綜上所述,本發明所提供的無線控制裝置藉由偵測訊號源所發出的訊號以產生相應的第一感測訊號,並將第一感測訊號以無線方式傳輸至主機,而使無線控制裝置獲得精準的空間定位。此外,本發明所提供的位置標定器能夠結合不同型態的配件例如手套、手肘套、膝套、綁帶、手臂套、帽子、鞋子或手環等穿戴部件或是遊戲槍枝、球棒、網球拍、羽球拍、桌球拍、棒狀物體等手持部件便能形成各種型態的無線控制器以滿足各種遊戲以及其他應用領域上的需求。另外,就手套型態的配件而言,此手套型態的配件包含內襯套以及外覆層,其中外覆層可拆卸地配置於該內襯套的外部,且外覆層具有多種電路元件。因此,內襯套能夠被拆卸,以便於清洗,且也不會損傷外覆層內部的電路元 件。 In summary, the wireless control device provided by the present invention generates the corresponding first sensing signal by detecting the signal sent by the signal source, and transmits the first sensing signal to the host wirelessly, so that the wireless The control device obtains precise spatial positioning. In addition, the position calibrator provided by the present invention can be combined with different types of accessories such as gloves, elbow sleeves, knee sleeves, straps, arm sleeves, hats, shoes or bracelets and other wearing parts or game guns and bats , Tennis rackets, badminton rackets, billiard rackets, stick-like objects and other handheld parts can form various types of wireless controllers to meet the needs of various games and other application fields. In addition, as far as the glove-type accessory is concerned, the glove-type accessory includes an inner sleeve and an outer cover, wherein the outer cover is detachably arranged outside the inner sleeve, and the outer cover has a variety of circuit elements . Therefore, the inner bushing can be disassembled for easy cleaning without damaging the circuit elements inside the outer cover Pieces.
雖然本發明已以實施例揭露如上,然其並非用以限定本發明,任何所屬技術領域中具有通常知識者,在不脫離本發明的精神和範圍內,當可作些許的更動與潤飾,故本發明的保護範圍當視後附的申請專利範圍所界定者為準。 Although the present invention has been disclosed as above with examples, it is not intended to limit the present invention. Any person with ordinary knowledge in the technical field can make some changes and modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection of the present invention shall be subject to the scope defined in the appended patent application.
