IN APPLICATION GESTURE INTERPRETATION
First Claim
1. A method for enabling modes in a gesture-based system, the method comprising:
- capturing data representative of a user in a physical space;
processing the captured data to identify input gesture data for the user, wherein the input gesture data is adapted for translation to a control of the gesture-based system in a first mode;
wherein a control of the gesture-based system in a second mode is available via at least one gesture when the gesture-based system is in the first mode.

Abstract
In a gesture-based system, gestures may control aspects of a computing environment or application, where the gestures may be derived from a user'"'"'s position or movement in a physical space. A gesture-based system may have a plurality of modes, each mode a hardware configuration, a software configuration, or a combination thereof. Techniques for transitioning a user'"'"'s control, via the user'"'"'s gestures, between different modes enables a system to coordinate controls between multiple modes. For example, while a first mode is active, the user'"'"'s gestures may control aspects of the first mode. The system may transition the user'"'"'s control from a control of the first mode to a control of a second mode. The transition may be between hardware, software, or a combination thereof. In another embodiment, reserved gestures that correspond to a first mode that may be executed whether or not a second mode is present.

14. A system for controlling aspects of a gesture-based system in modes, the system comprising:
-
a camera component, wherein the camera component captures data representative of a user in a physical space; and a processor, wherein the processor executes computer executable instructions, and wherein the computer executable instructions comprise instructions for; processing the captured data to identify input gesture data for the user, wherein the input gesture data is adapted for translation to a control of the gesture-based system in a first mode; wherein control of the gesture-based system in a second mode is available via at least one gesture when the gesture-based system is in the first mode. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18)

19. A method for transitioning between modes in a gesture-based system, the method comprising:
-
capturing data representative of a user in a physical space; processing the captured data to identify input gesture data for the user; controlling the gesture-based system in a first mode based on a control associated with the input gesture data; identifying a triggering event prompting a transition to a second mode; and transitioning control of the gesture-based system from the first mode to the second mode. - View Dependent Claims (20, 21)
