1. A user interface method, comprising:
- presenting by a computer executing a user interface, multiple interactive items on a display;
capturing a first sequence of images indicating a position in space of a hand of a user in proximity to the display;
responsively to the position, associating one of the interactive items with the hand;
after associating the item, capturing a second sequence of images indicating a movement of the hand; and
responsively to the movement, changing a size of the one of the items on the display.

Abstract
A user interface method, including presenting by a computer executing a user interface, multiple interactive items on a display. A first sequence of images is captured indicating a position in space of a hand of a user in proximity to the display, and responsively to the position, one of the interactive items is associated with the hand. After associating the item, a second sequence of images is captured indicating a movement of the hand, and responsively to the movement, a size of the one of the items is changed on the display.

21. A user interface method, comprising:
-
presenting by a computer executing a user interface, multiple interactive items on a display; capturing a first sequence of images indicating a position in space of a hand of a user in proximity to the display; capturing a second sequence of images indicating a movement of the hand transverse to the display in a first direction; and responsively to the movement, panning the interactive items on the display in a second direction, which is different from the first direction. - View Dependent Claims (22)

23. A user interface method, comprising:
-
presenting by a computer executing a user interface, multiple interactive items on a display; receiving, from a handheld remote control device coupled to the computer, a first signal indicating a position in space of a hand of a user in proximity to the handheld remote control device; responsively to the position, associating one of the interactive items with the hand; after associating the item, receiving from the handheld remote control device a second signal indicating a movement of the hand relative to the handheld remote control device; and responsively to the movement, changing a size of the one of the interactive items on the display.
