NUI VIDEO CONFERENCE CONTROLS
First Claim
1. A method of providing a video conference, comprising:
- receiving video and audio signals from a remote capture device, the remote capture device coupled via a network to a local capture device;
presenting a representation of the remote location captured by the remote capture device on a display proximate to the local capture device;
tracking movements of a local user in a confined space proximate to the local capture device; and
responsive to a user gesture detected at the local capture device, altering the audio or visual signals provided by the remote capture device whereby the representation of the remote location is altered locally.

Abstract
A system and method providing gesture controlled video conferencing includes a local capture device detecting movements of a user in a local environment and an audio/visual display. A processor is coupled to the capture device and a remote capture device and a remote processor at a remote environment via a network. The local processor includes instructions to render a representation of the remote environment on the display responsive to the remote processor and remote capture device. The processor also tracks movements of a local user in a space proximate to the local capture device. Responsive to a user gesture detected at the local capture device, the audio or visual signals provided by the remote capture device are altered to change the representation of the remote location is altered locally.

10. A gesture controlled video conferencing apparatus, comprising:
-
a local capture device detecting movements of a user in a local environment; an audio/visual display; a processor coupled to the capture device, the processor coupled to a remote capture device and a remote processor at a remote environment via a network, the processor including code instructing the processor to; render a representation of the remote environment on the display responsive to the remote processor and remote capture device; track movements of a local user in a space proximate to the local capture device; and responsive to a user gesture detected at the local capture device, alter the audio or visual signals provided by the remote capture device whereby the representation of the remote location is altered locally on the audio/visual display. - View Dependent Claims (11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A gesture controlled video conferencing apparatus, comprising:
-
a depth and image capture device detecting movements of a user in a first physical environment; an audio/visual display; a first processor coupled to the capture device and the audio/visual display, the processor coupled to a second depth and image capture device and a second processor in a second physical location via a network, the first processor including code instructing the first processor to; render a representation of the second environment on the display responsive to audio visual signals captured by the second depth and image capture device; present a user interface on the audio/visual display, the user interface responsive to gestures from the user. track movements of the user in a space proximate to the first capture device and responsive to a user gesture by the user, presenting an user interface allowing the user a set of one or more controls for altering processing at the second physical environment to thereby alter the representation of the remote location is at audio/visual display. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
