Virtual Object Control Using Physical Proxy Interaction

The patent introduces a physical object as an intermediary between the user and the virtual object. The physical object serves as a mediator that the user can interact with naturally, and its movement is then mapped to control the virtual object, bridging the gap between remote gesture control and precise manipulation.

The patent creates a mapping relationship where the physical object acts as a copy or proxy for the virtual object. By tracking the physical object's movement and replicating it in the virtual environment, the system enables precise control of virtual objects through physical interactions, effectively copying the physical interaction experience to the virtual domain.

The physical object serves as a tangible intermediary that replaces the abstract concept of spatial imagination. Instead of mentally constructing rotation anchor points, users physically manipulate the physical object, which provides natural tactile feedback and intuitive understanding of rotation axes and centers, thereby improving rotation accuracy while maintaining operational simplicity.

The patent replaces the cognitive-mechanical system (spatial imagination and mental construction of rotation points) with a physical-mechanical system (tactile interaction with physical objects). This substitution leverages the human body's natural ability to understand and manipulate physical objects, providing intuitive tactile feedback that guides accurate rotation without requiring complex spatial reasoning.
