Volumetric tracking for orthogonal displays in an electronic collaboration setting
First Claim
1. An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:
- one or more processors; and
a memory coupled to the one or more processors, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the one or more processors, cause the IHS to;
identify a first characteristic associated with a given one of a plurality of participants of an electronic collaboration session, at least in part, using an image sensing device;
identify a second characteristic associated with the given participant, at least in part, using a proximity sensing device;
identify a volumetric space for the given participant based upon a combination of the first and second characteristics, wherein the volumetric space comprises a three-dimensional area around the given participant from within which gesture or voice commands issued by the given participant are recognizable by the IHS, and outside of which gesture or voice commands issued by the given participant are not recognizable by the IHS;
provide a user interface to the given participant, wherein the user interface has a set of one or more features selected, at least in part, based upon a characteristic of the volumetric space;
identify another volumetric space for another participant andin response to the other participant being disposed behind the participant with respect to the image capture device, provide another user interface to the other participant, wherein the other user interface has a second set of features accessible to the other participant to the exclusion of the given participant.

Abstract
Systems and methods for providing volumetric tracing for orthogonal displays in an electronic collaboration setting. In some embodiments, an Information Handling System (IHS) may include a processor and a memory coupled to the processor, the memory including program instructions stored thereon that, upon execution by the processor, cause the IHS to: identify a first characteristic associated with a given one of a plurality of participants of an electronic collaboration session, at least in part, using an image sensing device; identify a second characteristic associated with the given participant, at least in part, using a proximity sensing device; identify a volumetric space for the given participant based upon a combination of the first and second characteristics; and provide a user interface to the given participant. The user interface may have a set or one or more features selected, at least in part, based upon a characteristic of the volumetric space.
