Apparatus and method to navigate media content using repetitive 3D gestures

A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable program code embodied therein, wherein when executed by a processor causes the processor to:

• (a) obtain a repetitive gesture cycle record comprising a gesture type, an orientation, a first gesture cycle record for a first gesture cycle, and a second gesture cycle record for a second gesture cycle,
• the first gesture cycle record including one or more first attributes comprising a first span of three-dimensional coordinates for positions in the first gesture cycle and a first speed;
• the second gesture cycle record including one or more second attributes comprising a second span of three-dimensional coordinates for positions in the second gesture cycle and a second speed,
• wherein the one or more first attributes of the first gesture cycle in the first gesture cycle record matches the one or more second attributes of the second gesture cycle in the second gesture cycle record;
• (b) determine an action associated with the repetitive gesture cycle, comprising:
• (b1) compare the gesture type in the repetitive gesture cycle record and a media type of the media content with a plurality of actions;
• and
• (b2) match the gesture type and the media type with a given action of the plurality of actions;
• and
• (c) apply the given action on a presentation of the media content according to the orientation, the first span, the first speed, the second span, and the second speed.
