Abstract
Enhanced input using recognized gestures, in which a user's gesture is recognized from first and second images, and a representation of the user is displayed in a central region of a control that further includes interaction elements disposed radially in relation to the central region. The enhanced input also includes interacting with the control based on the recognized user's gesture, and controlling an application based on interacting with the control.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- recognizing, from first and second images, a user's gesture;
- recognizing an identity of the user;
- selecting interaction elements based on the recognized identity;
- displaying a representation of the user in a control that further comprises the interaction elements disposed radially in relation to a central region of the control, wherein displaying the interaction elements is deferred until the representation of the user is aligned with the central region;
- interacting with the control based on the recognized user's gesture;
- and
- controlling an application based on interacting with the control.

A computer program product, tangibly embodied in a machine-readable medium, the computer program product comprising instructions that, when read by a machine, operate to cause data processing apparatus to:
- recognize, from first and second images, a user's gesture;
- recognize an identity of the user;
- select interaction elements based on the recognized identity;
- display a representation of the user in a control that further comprises the interaction elements disposed radially in relation to a central region of the control, wherein displaying the interaction elements is deferred until the representation of the user is aligned with the central region;
- interact with the control based on the recognized user's gesture;
- and
- control an application based on interacting with the control.

A device comprising:
- a user interface configured to display a representation of a user in a control that further comprises interaction elements disposed radially in relation to a central region of the control, wherein displaying the interaction elements is deferred until the representation of the user is aligned with in the central region;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- recognize, from first and second images, a user's gesture,
- recognize an identity of the user,
- select the interaction elements based on the recognized identity,
- interact with the control based on the recognized user's gesture, and
- control an application based on interacting with the control.
