Abstract: A two-parallel-channel reflector (TPCR) with focal length and disparity control is used after being combined with an imaging device. A left parallel channel and a right parallel channel are formed in the TPCR, so that the imaging device can synchronously perform an imaging operation on a left side view and a right side view of a scene, so as to obtain a stereoscopic image. Each parallel channel is bounded by two curved reflecting mirrors, so that captured light rays may be parallelly reflected in the channel, and an operator may adjust a convergence angle and an interocular distance between the left side view and the right side view, so as to control the focal length and disparity during imaging as require.

Abstract: A two-parallel-channel reflector (TPCR) with focal length and disparity control is provided. The TPCR is connected to an imaging device, so that an image of a scene is captured to generate a stereoscopic image. The TPCR has two parallel channels that allow the imaging device to generate a left side view image and a right side view image of the shot scene synchronously. Each parallel channel includes an outward reflecting unit and an inward reflecting unit, which are designed to ensure that light rays in the parallel channels are reflected in a collimated and parallel manner. During imaging, a position and an angle of the outward reflecting unit can be adjusted to fulfill the function of controlling the disparity and the focal length.

Abstract: A three-dimensional (3D) human-computer interaction system that supports mouse operations through the motion of a finger and an operation method thereof are provided. In the provided system and method, a multi-view video recording device captures an image of a finger of an operator, and has an information connection with an electronic information device through an interaction handling program. After the interaction handling program is executed, a CPU of the electronic information device performs operations such as computation, synthesis, image presentation, gesture tracking, and command recognition on the captured image to interpret a motion of the finger of the user. Accordingly, the user may perform operations on an operation interface of the electronic information device by using the finger in a 3D space in a noncontact mode. The present invention is particularly applicable to application software with 3D space operations as it can perform 3D interaction with the application software.
