First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of controlling a computing-based device, the method comprising:
- receiving input from a traditional input device;
receiving an image stream of a reference object;
performing gesture recognition on the received image stream to identify hand gestures performed on or near the reference object; and
controlling the computing-based device using both the input received from the traditional input device and the identified hand gestures.
