Providing a gesture-based interface

A non-transitory computer-readable medium for providing a gesture-based interface, the computer-readable medium comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more computers, cause the one or more computers to implement a method, the method comprising:

• receiving, prior to analyzing any gesture input from a first person or a second person, depth data including data indicative of respective locations of the first person and the second person relative to a plurality of columns of one or more display devices, wherein the one or more display devices display a plurality of sets of icons arranged with respect to the plurality of columns;
• determining, using the depth data, a first set of icons corresponding to a position of the first person with respect to the one or more display devices, the first set of icons being from among the plurality of sets of icons displayed at the one or more display devices;
• determining, using the depth data, a second set of icons corresponding to a position of the second person with respect to the one or more display devices, the second set of icons being from among the plurality of sets of icons displayed at the one or more display devices;
• and
• providing, responsive to determining the first set of icons and the second set of icons and prior to analyzing any gesture input from the first person or the second person, a command for expanding a first predetermined icon in the first set of icons and for expanding a second predetermined icon in the second set of icons, while continuing to provide for display of the plurality of sets of icons.

A system for providing a gesture-based interface, the system comprising:

• one or more processors;
• a memory comprising instructions which, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to implement the following operations:
• receiving, prior to analyzing any gesture input from a person, depth data including data indicative of a location of the person relative to a plurality of columns of one or more display devices, wherein each of the plurality of columns comprises a plurality of icons;
• determining, using the depth data, a column corresponding to a position of the person with respect to the one or more display devices, the column being from among the plurality of columns;
• providing, responsive to determining the column and prior to analyzing any gesture input from the person, a signal for expanding a predetermined icon in the column corresponding to the position of the person with respect to the one or more display devices;
• and
• providing, responsive to determining the column, a signal for decreasing a size of at least one other icon in the column corresponding to the position of the person with respect to the one or more display devices.
