SURFACE UI FOR GESTURE-BASED INTERACTION
First Claim
1. A method of determining a command, comprising:
- capturing an image of an object with a camera;
determining a gesture based at least partly upon the image;
detecting an audio input; and
determining, at one or more processors, the command based at least partly upon the gesture or the audio input.

Abstract
Disclosed is a unique system and method that facilitates gesture-based interaction with a user interface. The system involves an object sensing configured to include a sensing plane vertically or horizontally located between at least two imaging components on one side and a user on the other. The imaging components can acquire input images taken of a view of and through the sensing plane. The images can include objects which are on the sensing plane and/or in the background scene as well as the user as he interacts with the sensing plane. By processing the input images, one output image can be returned which shows the user objects that are in contact with the plane. Thus, objects located at a particular depth can be readily determined. Any other objects located beyond can be “removed” and not seen in the output image.
