TECHNIQUES FOR USING HUMAN GESTURES TO CONTROL GESTURE UNAWARE PROGRAMS
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A system, comprising:
- a computing environment including a processor coupled to a computer readable storage medium, the computer readable storage medium including executable instructions for a program, wherein a user interface for the program is configured to only receive non-gesture user interface commands;
a capture device coupled to the computing environment, wherein the capture device is configured to capture images and identify gestures in the images, wherein the capture device is configured to capture audio and identify audio commands in the captured audio; and
wherein the non-gesture user interface commands used to control the user interface of the program are generated from gestures identified in the images and audio commands identified in the captured audio.
