1. An input system based on a three-dimensional inertial navigation system and having an input part and a host device, and for detecting motion position information corresponding to three-dimensional motions of the input part and outputting the detected motion position information to the host device, comprising:
acceleration sensors for outputting pre-motion acceleration information, motion acceleration information, and post-motion acceleration information;
a rotation angle information estimation-computing portion for estimating motion rotation angle information Φ, θ, and Ψ through a predetermined computing process based on the outputted pre-motion acceleration information and post-motion acceleration information;
a conversion-computing unit for calculating the motion position information based on the estimated motion rotation angle information and the outputted motion acceleration information; and
an optimal plane-computing unit for projecting the motion position information onto an optimal plane.
