MAPPING A NATURAL INPUT DEVICE TO A LEGACY SYSTEM
First Claim
1. A method of mapping a natural input device to a legacy system, the method comprising:
- selecting a gesture library to interpret a natural user input;
associating the natural user input to a gesture in the gesture library;
mapping the gesture to a legacy controller input; and
sending the legacy controller input to a legacy system in response to the natural user input.

Abstract
Systems and methods for mapping natural input devices to legacy system inputs are disclosed. One example system may include a computing device having an algorithmic preprocessing module configured to receive input data containing a natural user input and to identify the natural user input in the input data. The computing device may further include a gesture module coupled to the algorithmic preprocessing module, the gesture module being configured to associate the natural user input to a gesture in a gesture library. The computing device may also include a mapping module to map the gesture to a legacy controller input, and to send the legacy controller input to a legacy system in response to the natural user input.

15. A computer-readable medium comprising instructions executable by a computing device to map a natural input device to a legacy gaming system, the instructions being executable to perform a method comprising:
-
receiving a depth image from a depth camera, the depth image having depth values for objects in a field of view of the depth camera; processing the depth image to identify a natural user input; selecting a gesture library to interpret the natural user input; associating the natural user input to a gesture in the gesture library; mapping the gesture to a legacy controller input; and sending the legacy controller input to a gaming system in response to the natural user input. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
