GESTURE TO TRIGGER APPLICATION-PERTINENT INFORMATION
First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for implementing a peer gesture via a natural user interface, comprising:
- (a) determining if a user has performed a predefined gesture relating to peering into a virtual distance with respect to a scene displayed on a display; and
(b) changing the display to create the impression of peering into the virtual distance of the scene displayed on the display upon determining that the user has performed the predefined peering gesture in said step (a).

Abstract
A system is disclosed for interpreting a gesture which triggers application-pertinent information, such as altering a display to bring objects which are farther away into larger and clearer view. In one example, the application is a golfing game in which a user may perform a peer gesture which, when identified by the application, alters the view to display portions of a virtual golf hole nearer to a virtual green into larger and clearer view.

6. A system for implementing a peer gesture via a natural user interface, comprising:
-
(a) a display for displaying a virtual three-dimensional scene; and (b) a computing device for executing an application, the application generating the virtual three-dimensional scene on the display, and the application including a peer gesture software engine for receiving an indication of a predefined peer gesture, and for causing a view of the three-dimensional scene to change by moving along a path from a first perspective displaying a first point to a second perspective displaying a second point which is virtually distal from the first point. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)

15. A processor-readable storage media having processor-readable code embodied on said processor-readable storage media, said processor readable code for programming one or more processors of a computing device to perform a method comprising:
-
(a) providing a three-dimensional view of a virtual golf hole in a golf gaming application; (b) determining if a user has performed a predefined gesture relating to peering into a virtual distance with respect to the virtual golf hole displayed on a display; and (c) changing the view of the virtual golf hole by moving along a path from a first point in the foreground of a view to a second point at or nearer to a virtual green of the virtual golf hole to show the second point at or nearer to the virtual green in greater detail. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
