Abstract
Systems and methods for combining three-dimensional tracking of a user'"'"'s movements with a three-dimensional user interface display is described. A tracking module processes depth data of a user performing movements, for example, movements of the user'"'"'s hand and fingers. The tracked movements are used to animate a representation of the hand and fingers, and the animated representation is displayed to the user using a three-dimensional display. Also displayed are one or more virtual objects with which the user can interact. In some embodiments, the interaction of the user with the virtual objects controls an electronic device.

18. A system comprising:
-
a sensing module configured to acquire a sequence of depth images of one or more body parts of a subject; a tracking module configured to track movements of the one or more body parts in the sequence of depth images; a display configured to provide feedback images perceived as three-dimensional to the subject, wherein the feedback images include a first virtual object animated with movements corresponding to the tracked movements of the one or more body parts, and further wherein the feedback images include as second virtual object with which the subject can interact. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20)
