1. A method implemented by a computing device, the method comprising:
- generating a static geometry model, from data describing a physical environment captured using a sensor, using one or more static objects to model corresponding one or more objects in the physical environment;
identifying interaction of a dynamic object with at least one of the static objects by analyzing the data, the identified interaction includes identifying contact between the dynamic object and the at least one of the static objects by analyzing the data; and
recognizing a gesture from the identified interaction of the dynamic object with the at least one of the static objects to initiate an operation of the computing device.

Abstract
In one or more implementations, a static geometry model is generated, from one or more images of a physical environment captured using a camera, using one or more static objects to model corresponding one or more objects in the physical environment. Interaction of a dynamic object with at least one of the static objects is identified by analyzing at least one image and a gesture is recognized from the identified interaction of the dynamic object with the at least one of the static objects to initiate an operation of the computing device.

7. An apparatus comprising:
-
a camera configured to capture depth data of a physical environment of the camera and included within a housing that is configured to be held by a user; and one or more modules communicatively coupled to the camera and implemented at least partially in hardware, the one or more modules configured to; generate a static geometry model, from the depth data of the physical environment captured using the camera, using one or more static objects to model corresponding one or more objects in the physical environment; detect an orientation or position of the camera in the physical environment; identify interaction of a dynamic object with at least one of the static objects by analyzing at least one image, the identified interaction includes identification of contact between the dynamic object and the at least one of the static objects by analyzing at least one said image; and recognize a gesture from the detected orientation or position of the camera and the identified interaction of the dynamic object with the at least one of the static objects to initiate an operation. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12)
