1. A method for enabling a person to interact with an electronic device, the method comprising:
- obtaining position information for a plurality of discrete regions on a body part of the person, wherein the position information indicates a depth of each discrete region on the body part relative to a reference;
using the position information to classify a gesture formed by the body part as an input for interacting with the electronic device.

Abstract
Three-dimensional position information is used to identify the gesture created by a body part of interest. At one or more instances of an interval, the posture of a body part is recognized, based on the shape of the body part and its position and orientation. The posture of the body part over each of the one or more instances in the interval are recognized as a combined gesture. The gesture is classified for determining an input into a related electronic device.
