Abstract
An apparatus, a method, and a computer program product are provided. The apparatus generates at least one signal in response to a contactless gesture performed proximate to an infrared proximity sensor situated on the optical device, the contactless gesture corresponding to a command, identifies the command using the at least one signal, and executes the command.
Claims24
A method of controlling an optical device configured to display content, the method comprising:
- generating at least one signal in response to a contactless gesture performed proximate to an infrared proximity sensor situated on the optical device, the contactless gesture corresponding to a command;
- identifying the command using the at least one signal;
- and
- executing the command.
An apparatus for controlling an optical device configured to display content, the apparatus comprising:
- means for generating at least one signal in response to a contactless gesture performed proximate to an infrared proximity sensor situated on the optical device, the contactless gesture corresponding to a command;
- means for identifying the command using the at least one signal;
- and
- means for executing the command.
An apparatus for controlling an optical device configured to display content, the apparatus comprising:
- a processing system configured to:
