Extending standard gestures

Abstract

In a system that utilizes gestures for controlling aspects of an application, strict requirements for success may limit approachability or accessibility for different types of people. The system may receive data reflecting movement of a user and remap a standard gesture to correspond to the received data. Following the remapping, the system may receive data reflecting skeletal movement of a user, and determine from that data whether the user has performed one or more standard and/or remapped gestures. In an exemplary embodiment, a gesture library comprises a plurality of gestures. Where these gestures are complementary with each other, they may be grouped into gesture packages. A gesture package may include gestures that are packaged as remapped gestures or a gesture package may include options for remapping standard gestures to new data.
