1. A method, comprising:
- receiving and segmenting a first sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps over time of at least a part of a body of a user of a computerized system in order to extract 3D coordinates of a first point and a second point of the user, the 3D maps indicating a motion of the second point with respect to a display coupled to the computerized system;
calculating a line segment that intersects the first point and the second point;
identifying a target point where the line segment intersects the display; and
engaging an interactive item presented on the display in proximity to the target point.

Abstract
A method includes receiving and segmenting a first sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps over time of at least a part of a body of a user of a computerized system in order to extract 3D coordinates of a first point and a second point of the user, the 3D maps indicating a motion of the second point with respect to a display coupled to the computerized system. A line segment that intersects the first point and the second point is calculated, and a target point is identified where the line segment intersects the display. An interactive item presented on the display in proximity to the target point is engaged.

16. An apparatus, comprising:
-
a display; and a computer coupled to the display and configured to receive and segment a first sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps over time of at least a part of a body of a user of a computerized system in order to extract 3D coordinates of a first point and a second point of the user, the 3D maps indicating a motion of the second point with respect to a display coupled to the computer system, to calculate a line segment that intersects the first point and the second point, to identify a target point where the line segment intersects the display, and to engage an interactive item presented on the display in proximity to the target point. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30)

31. A computer software product comprising a non-transitory computer-readable medium, in which program instructions are stored, which instructions, when read by a computer, cause the computer to receive and segment a first sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps over time of at least a part of a body of a user of the computer in order to extract 3D coordinates of a first point and a second point of the user, the 3D maps indicating a motion of the second point with respect to a display coupled to the computer, to calculate a line segment that intersects the first point and the second point, to identify a target point where the line segment intersects the display, and to engage an interactive item presented on the display in proximity to the target point.
