1. A method for triggering input commands of a program run on a computing system, comprising:
- monitoring a field of view in front of a capture device;
identifying an input object within the field of view, the detected input object being analyzed for changes in shape;
detecting a change in the input object; and
triggering an input command at the program run on the computing system, the triggering being a result of the detected change in the input object.

Abstract
In one embodiment a method for triggering input commands of a program run on a computing system is provided. The method initiates with monitoring a field of view in front of a capture device. Then, an input object is identified within the field of view. The detected input object is analyzed for changes in shape. Next, a change in the input object is detected. Then, an input command is triggered at the program run on the computing system. The triggering is a result of the detected change in the input object. An input detection program and a computing system are also provided.
