Abstract
A 3-D imaging system for recognition and interpretation of gestures to control a computer. The system includes a 3-D imaging system that performs gesture recognition and interpretation based on a previous mapping of a plurality of hand poses and orientations to user commands for a given user. When the user is identified to the system, the imaging system images gestures presented by the user, performs a lookup for the user command associated with the captured image(s), and executes the user command(s) to effect control of the computer, programs, and connected devices.
Claims48
A game apparatus for executing a game process using acceleration data which is sequentially outputted by an acceleration sensor of an input device, the game apparatus comprising:
- acquisition means for sequentially acquiring the acceleration data;
- smoothing means for sequentially calculating smoothed data representing a value which is obtained by smoothing an acceleration represented by the acceleration data;
- and
- game process means for executing the game process using the acceleration data and the smoothed data.
A computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon a game program executed by a computer of a game apparatus for executing a game process using acceleration data which is sequentially outputted by an acceleration sensor of an input device, the game program causing the computer to execute:
- an acquisition step of sequentially acquiring the acceleration data;
- a smoothing step of sequentially calculating smoothed data representing a value which is obtained by smoothing an acceleration represented by the acceleration data;
- and
- a game process step of executing the game process using the acceleration data and the smoothed data.
A game computing device for executing a game process using accelerometer values which are sequentially output by an accelerometer of a pointing device, the game computing device comprising:
- acquisition processing unit for sequentially acquiring the accelerometer values;
- normalizing processing unit for sequentially computing normalized accelerometer values;
- and
- game processor for executing the game process using the accelerometer values and the normalized accelerometer values.
