Abstract
A method comprising: enabling viewing by a user of a virtual scene of a virtual space; mapping a three-dimensional gesture of the user to a corresponding three-dimensional gesture in the virtual space; and in response to determining that the corresponding three-dimensional gesture in a virtual space is a first predetermined gesture or predetermined gestures in relation to a first portion of the virtual space, analyzing the virtual space over time to detect an event in the virtual space relating to the first portion of the virtual space.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- displaying to a user a virtual scene of a virtual space;
- mapping a three-dimensional gesture of the user to a corresponding three-dimensional gesture in the virtual space;
- and
- in response to determining that the corresponding three-dimensional gesture in the virtual space is a first predetermined gesture or predetermined gestures in relation to a first portion of the virtual space, analyzing the virtual space over time to detect an event in the virtual space relating to the first portion of the virtual space, where the detected event comprises an arrival of an object at the first portion of the virtual space, where a three-dimensional position of the first portion comprises an allowable position relative to at least one of:
- one or more predetermined positions in the virtual space, or
- one or more virtual objects in the virtual space,
- where the virtual space further comprises non-allowable positions for the first portion.
An apparatus comprising at least one processor and at least one non-transitory memory, the non-transitory memory comprising machine-readable instructions, that when executed cause the apparatus to:
- display to a user a virtual scene of a virtual space;
- map a three-dimensional gesture of the user to a corresponding three-dimensional gesture in the virtual space;
- and
- in response to determining that the corresponding three-dimensional gesture in the virtual space is a first predetermined gesture or predetermined gestures in relation to a first portion of the virtual space, analyze the virtual space over time to detect an event in the virtual space relating to the first portion of the virtual space, where the detected event comprises an arrival of an object at the first portion of the virtual space, where a three-dimensional position of the first portion comprises an allowable position relative to at least one of:
- one or more predetermined positions in the virtual space, or
- one or more virtual objects in the virtual space,
- where the virtual space further comprises non-allowable positions for the first portion.
