Abstract
In an example method, a target object is detected via a camera in a mobile device based on an embedded identifier on the target object. Sensor data of the mobile device is tracked to estimate a relative location or a relative orientation of the mobile device in relation to the target object. A relative gesture is detected via the mobile device based on the relative location or the relative orientation of the mobile device. One or more actions are performed in response to detecting the relative gesture.
Claims15
A method, comprising:
- detecting a target object via a camera in a mobile device based on an embedded identifier on the target object;
- tracking sensor data of the mobile device to estimate a relative location or a relative orientation of the mobile device in relation to the target object;
- detecting a relative gesture via the mobile device based on the relative location or the relative orientation of the mobile device;
- and
- performing an action in response to detecting the relative gesture.
An apparatus, comprising a processor to:
- detect a target object via a camera in a mobile device based on an embedded identifier on the target object;
- track sensor data of the mobile device to estimate a relative location or a relative orientation of the mobile device in relation to the target object;
- detect a relative gesture via the mobile device based on the relative location or the relative orientation of the mobile device;
- and
- download, upload, or transfer a file associated with the target object in response to detecting the relative gesture.
A machine-readable storage medium encoded with instructions executable by a processor, the machine-readable storage medium comprising instructions to:
- detect a target object via a camera in a mobile device and based on an embedded identifier on the target object;
- track sensor data of the mobile device to estimate a relative location or a relative orientation of the target object in relation to the mobile device;
- detect a relative gesture via the mobile device based on the relative location or the relative orientation of the mobile device;
- and
- associate or disassociate a file with the target object in response to detecting the detected relative gesture.
