Abstract
Methods and apparatus are provided for gesture based control of a device. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a first position sensor signal, the first position sensor signal detected by a first sensor, and detecting a second position sensor signal, the second position sensor signal detected by a second sensor, wherein the second position sensor signal is based on position of the second sensor relative to the first sensor. The method may further include generating a control signal for a device based on the first and second position sensor signals, wherein the first and second position sensor signals are generated based on user positing of the first and second sensors. The method may further include transmitting the control signal to the device.
Claims32
A method for gesture based control of a device, the method comprising the acts of:
- detecting a first position sensor signal, the first position sensor signal detected by a first sensor;
- detecting a second position sensor signal, the second position sensor signal detected by a second sensor, wherein the second position sensor signal is based on position of the second sensor relative to the first sensor;
- generating a control signal for a device based on the first and second position sensor signals, wherein the first and second position sensor signals are generated based on user positing of the first and second sensors;
- and
- transmitting the control signal to the device.
A computer program product stored on computer readable medium including computer executable code for gesture based control of a device, the computer program product comprising:
- computer readable code to detect a first position sensor signal, the first position sensor signal associated with a first sensor;
- computer readable code to detect a second position sensor signal, the second position sensor signal associated with a second sensor, wherein the second position sensor signal is based on position of the second sensor relative to the first sensor;
