Abstract

The present invention discloses a 3D information generator for use in an interactive interface. The 3D information generator includes: a MEMS light beam generator having at least one light source for providing a dot light beam and a MEMS mirror for projecting a movable scanning light beam according to the dot light beam to an object; an image sensor for sensing an image of the object to generate a 2D image information; and a processor for generating a distance information by triangulation method according to a reflection result of the scanning light beam scanning on the object, wherein the distance information is combined with the 2D image information to generate a 3D information.
