## Abstract

Systems and methods are described for navigating through a data space. The navigating comprises detecting a gesture of a body from gesture data received via a detector. The gesture data is absolute three-space location data of an instantaneous state of the body at a point in time and physical space. The detecting comprises identifying the gesture using the gesture data. The navigating comprises translating the gesture to a gesture signal, and navigating through the data space in response to the gesture signal. The data space is a data-representational space comprising a dataset represented in the physical space.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method for navigating through a data space, the method comprising:
detecting a gesture of a body from gesture data received via a detector, wherein the gesture data is absolute three-space location data of an instantaneous state of the body at a point in time and physical space, the detecting comprising identifying the gesture using only the gesture data;
translating the gesture to a gesture signal;
navigating through the data space in response to the gesture signal, wherein the data space is a data-representational space comprising a dataset represented in the physical space; and
rendering the dataset in a plurality of coplanar data frames that are graphical depictions of a plurality of regions of the data space and displaying each data frame as a visible frame on a display.

### Claim at position 2

2-87. (canceled)

### Claim 88

A system comprising:
a detector for receiving gesture data that represents a gesture made by a body; and
a processor coupled to the detector, the processor automatically detecting the gesture from the gesture data, wherein the gesture data is absolute three-space location data of an instantaneous state of the body at a point in time and physical space, the processor identifying the gesture using only the gesture data, the processor translating the gesture to a gesture signal, the processor controlling navigating through the data space in response to the gesture signal, wherein the data space is a data-representational space comprising a dataset represented in the physical space, the processor rendering the dataset in a plurality of coplanar data frames that are graphical depictions of a plurality of regions of the data space and displaying each data frame as a visible frame on a display.
