Abstract

Embodiments described herein includes a system comprising a processor coupled to display devices, sensors, remote client devices, and computer applications. The computer applications orchestrate content of the remote client devices simultaneously across the display devices and the remote client devices, and allow simultaneous control of the display devices. The simultaneous control includes automatically detecting a gesture of at least one object from gesture data received via the sensors. The detecting comprises identifying the gesture using only the gesture data. The computer applications translate the gesture to a gesture signal, and control the display devices in response to the gesture signal.

Claims

1. A system comprising:

a processor coupled to a plurality of display devices;

a gesture interface coupled to the processor, wherein the gesture interface detects a gesture of at least one object from gesture data received at the processor, identifies the gesture and translates the gesture to a gesture signal;

a plurality of remote client devices coupled to the processor;

a plurality of applications running on the processor, wherein the plurality of applications control content of the plurality of remote client devices simultaneously across the plurality of display devices and the plurality of remote client devices, wherein the control of the content comprises control via the gesture signal and inputs of the plurality of display devices.
