Method for controlling at least one characteristic of a controllable object, a related system and related device

A method for controlling at least one characteristic of a controllable object (CO) by means of a control device (CD), said control device (CD) being coupled to said controllable object (CO) over a communications link, said method comprising the steps of:

• capturing, by a capturing means of said control device, a gesture of a user;
• generating, by a processing means (PM), at least one curve based on said gesture captured, said at least one curve representing at least one parameter of said gesture, said parameters of said gesture comprising at least one of:
• x-coordinate, y-coordinate, z-coordinate, speed, direction and/or intensity of said gesture captured;
• and
• generating, by said processing means (PM), a control instruction based on said at least one parameter represented by said at least one curve in combination with certain limitations of said controllable object;
• and
• controlling, by an actuating means, said at least one characteristic of said controllable object based on said control instruction,
• wherein said controllable object (CO) is a virtual object in a virtual environment for presentation at display of said control device (CD), said characteristic of said virtual object is a position, a motion and/or a deformation of said virtual object or a part thereof.

A system for controlling at least one characteristic of a controllable object (CO), said system comprising:

• a control device (CD) and said controllable object (CO), said control device (CD) being coupled to said controllable device (CO) over a communications link, said control device (CD) comprising a capturing means (CAM) configured to capture a gesture of a user;
• a processing means (PM), configured to generate at least one curve based on said gesture captured, said curve representing at least one parameter of said gesture, said parameters of said gesture comprising at least one of:
• x-coordinate, y-coordinate, z-coordinate, speed, direction and/or intensity of said gesture captured, wherein said processing means (PM) is further configured to generate a control instruction based on said at least one parameter represented by said at least one curve in combination with certain limitations of said controllable object;
• and
• an actuating means (AM), configured to control said at least one characteristic of said controllable object (CO) based on said control instruction;
• wherein said controllable object (CO) is a virtual object in a virtual environment for presentation at display of said control device (CD), said characteristic of said virtual object is a position, a motion and/or a deformation of said virtual object or a part thereof.
