MAGIC WAND
First Claim
1. A system for controlling a display component via gesturing comprising:
- a camera for employing object recognition techniques to ascertain a relative position or an orientation of an object;
a command component for determining an instruction based on the orientation of the object; and
a computing device for executing the instruction in order to alter the display component in accordance with the instruction,wherein an intelligence component is coupled to the command component and wherein the intelligence component uses a subset of data in a data store to determine the instruction.

Abstract
The claimed subject matter relates to an architecture that can facilitate rich interaction with and/or management of environmental components included in an environment. The architecture can exist in whole or in part in a housing that can resemble a wand or similar object. The architecture can utilize one or more sensor from a collection of sensors to determine an orientation or gesture in connection with the wand, and can further issue an instruction to update a state of an environmental component based upon the orientation. In addition, the architecture can include an advisor component to provide contextual and/or comprehensive guidance in an intuitive manner.

20. An apparatus for controlling a display component via gesturing comprising:
-
a camera, which receives input in order to employ an object recognition technique, the object recognition technique capable of ascertaining an orientation of an object; a data store, which stores data associated with the orientation of the object; a command component coupled to the camera, which determines an instruction based on the ascertaining of the orientation of the object by the camera, the determination of the instruction including using the data in the data store such that an intelligence component associated with the command component computes a probability in order to form an inference to choose the instruction from a number of instructions in the data; and a gaming console, which executes the instruction in order to alter the display component in accordance with the instruction.
