Abstract
Detecting a touch includes receiving image data of a touching object of a user selecting selectable objects of a target surface, determining a rate of movement of the touching object, in response to determining that the rate of movement satisfies a predetermined threshold, modifying a touch detection parameter for detecting a touch event between the touching object and the target surface, and detecting one or more additional touch events using the modified touch detection parameter.
Claims20
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer readable code executable by one or more Processors to:
- cause a device to capture sensor data of a first portion of a body of a user and a second portion of the body of the user;
- determine, based on the sensor data, a velocity of one of the first portion of the body of the user and the second portion of the body of the user;
- and
- detect one or more touch events between the first portion of the body of the user and the second portion of the body of the user using a touch event parameter selected based on the velocity,
- wherein the one or more touch events occur apart from the device.
A method comprising:
- capturing, by a device, sensor data of a first portion of a body of a user and a second portion of the body of the user;
- determining, based on the sensor data, a velocity of one of the first portion of the body of the user and the second portion of the body of the user;
- and
- detecting one or more touch events between the first portion of the body of the user and the second portion of the body of the user using a touch event parameter selected based on the velocity,
- wherein the one or more touch events occur apart from the device.
A system comprising:
- one or more Processors;
- and
- one or more computer readable media comprising computer readable code executable by one or more Processors to:
- cause a device to capture sensor data of a first portion of a body of a user and a second portion of the body of the user;
- determine, based on the sensor data, a velocity of one of the first portion of the body of the user and the second portion of the body of the user;
- and
- detect one or more touch events between the first portion of the body of the user and the second portion of the body of the user using a touch event parameter selected based on the velocity,
- wherein the one or more touch events occur apart from the device.
