We are interested in the omni-directional display system as one of 3D displays. The omni-directional display is good to observe displaying objects by some users. Therefore, a special controller for the omni-directional display is necessary to realize interactive operations from any positions around the display system. So far, we have developed a PDA (personal digital assistants) based controller for the omni-directional display system. However, we consider that users can observe and operate 3D images effectively by using the 2D display properly in addition to the omni-directional display system, as the controller can't display the displaying object on the system. In this research, we developed a new controller with mobile PC to solve the problems, and implemented high performance functions. Moreover, in order to utilize the controller effectively, we created the 3D contents "Vizoo". In this paper, we describe the developed controller and the created contents
