Abstract

Technologies are generally described for a system for interpreting user movement in computer generated reality. In some examples, the system includes a user interface effective to generate movement data relating to movement of the user interface. In some examples, the system further includes a processor receive the movement data. In some examples, the processor is further effective to define a coordinate system based on the movement data and map the movement data to the coordinate system to produce mapped movement data. In some examples, the processor is further effective to determine a feature of the mapped movement data and to map the feature to a code. In some examples, the processor is further effective to send the code to the application and receive application data from the application in response to the code. In some examples, the processor is further effective to generate an image based on the application data.

Claims

1. A method for interpreting user movement in computer generated reality, the method comprising:

receiving, by a processor, movement data relating to movement of a user interface;

defining, by the processor, a coordinate system based on the movement data;

mapping, by the processor, the movement data to the coordinate system to produce mapped movement data;

determining, by the processor, a feature of the mapped movement data; and

mapping, by the processor, the feature to a code.

2. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

sending, by the processor, the code to an application;

receiving, by the processor, application data from the application in response to the code; and

generating, by the processor, an image based on the application data.

3. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising determining the feature of the mapped movement data based on a start location and a final location of the mapped movement data.

4. The method as recited in claim 3, further comprising determining the feature of the mapped movement data based on a difference between the start location and the final location.

5. The method as recited in claim 4, wherein the difference includes a change of the mapped movement data in space and a rate of change of the mapped movement data in space.

6. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising:

defining the coordinate system to include a cube with a plurality of centers and edges; and

determining the feature based on an intersection between one of the edges or one of the centers and the mapped movement data.

7. The method as recited in claim 1, wherein receiving the movement data includes determining, by the processor, when the movement has terminated.

8. The method as recited in claim 1, further comprising receiving, by the processor, the movement data relating to movement of the user interface in at least two dimensions.

9. A device for interpreting user movement in computer generated reality, the device comprising:

a memory effective to store instructions;

a processor in communication with the memory, the processor effective to read the instructions and effective to

receive movement data relating to movement of a user interface;

define a coordinate system based on the movement data;

map the movement data to the coordinate system to produce mapped movement data;

determine a feature of the mapped movement data; and

map the feature to a code.

10. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein:

the memory is further effective to store an application; and

the processor is further effective to

send the code to the application;

receive application data from the application in response to the code; and

generate an image based on the application data.

11. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the processor is effective to determine the feature of the mapped movement data based on a start location and a final location of the mapped movement data.

12. The device as recited in claim 11, wherein the processor is effective to determine the feature of the mapped movement data based on a difference between the start location and the final location.

13. The device as recited in claim 12, wherein the difference includes a change of the mapped movement data in space and a rate of change of the mapped movement data in space.

14. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the processor is further effective to

define the coordinate system to include a cube with a plurality of centers and edges;

and

determine the feature based on an intersection between one of the edges or one of the centers and the mapped movement data.

15. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the processor is further effective to determine when the movement has terminated.

16. The device as recited in claim 9, wherein the processor is further effective to receive movement data relating to movement of the user interface in at least two dimensions.

17. A system for interpreting user movement in computer generated reality, the system comprising:

a user interface, wherein the user interface is effective to generate movement data relating to movement of the user interface;

a memory effective to store instructions;

a display;

a processor in communication with the memory, the user interface and the display, wherein the processor is effective to read the instructions and effective to

receive the movement data;

define a coordinate system based on the movement data;

map the movement data to the coordinate system to produce mapped movement data;

determine a feature of the mapped movement data;

map the feature to a code;
