1. A media device, comprising:
- a memory to store executable instructions;
a media presentation element to present media content at the media device;
an image sensor to capture images; and
a processor coupled to the memory, the media presentation element, and the image sensor, wherein the processor, responsive to executing the executable instructions, performs operations comprising;
retrieving a plurality of sensory information descriptive of an environment of the media device, wherein the sensory information comprises an ambient condition of a space in which the media device operates;
identifying a plurality of characteristics of the environment of the media device according to the plurality of sensory information;
receiving descriptive information about characteristics of an environment of a source device, wherein the source device provides media content;
determining a difference between the characteristics of the environment of the media device and the characteristics of the environment of the source device;
selecting a first adaptation to modify a presentation of media content at the media presentation element according to the difference;
modifying a presentation of the media content by the media presentation element according to the first adaptation to generate a first modified presentation of the media content;
capturing video of a user movement;
identifying a series of gestures from the captured video of the user movement by image recognition;
identifying a command from the series of gestures;
selecting a second adaptation to modify the presentation of the media content at the media presentation element according to the command; and
modifying the first modified presentation of the media content according to the second adaptation to generate a second modified presentation of the media content.

Abstract
A method or apparatus for controlling a media device using gestures may include, for example, modifying media content to generate first updated media content according to a comparison of first information descriptive of a first environment of the source device to second information descriptive of a second environment of the recipient device, capturing images of a gesture, identifying a command from the gesture, and modifying the first updated media content to generate second updated media content according to the command. Other embodiments are disclosed.

9. A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium, comprising executable instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving media content from a source device; capturing sensory information descriptive of a characteristic of a first environment, wherein the sensory information comprises an ambient condition of a first space in which one of the processor or the source device operates; determining a characteristic of a second environment comprising an ambient condition of a second space in which another one of the processor or the source device operates; determining a difference between the characteristic of the first environment and the characteristic of the second environment; modifying the media content to generate first updated media content according to the difference; capturing images of a user movement; identifying a series of gestures from the images of the user movement; identifying a single command corresponding to the series of gestures; modifying the first updated media content according to the single command to generate second updated media content; and presenting the second updated media content. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 22)

15. A method, comprising:
-
receiving, by a recipient device comprising a processor, media content supplied by a source device; receiving, by the recipient device, a first representation of a characteristic of a first environment in accordance with sensory information descriptive of the first environment, wherein the sensory information comprises an ambient condition of a first space in which one of the processor or the source device operates; determining a characteristic of a second environment comprising an ambient condition of a second space in which another one of the processor or the source device operates; determining a difference between the characteristic of the first environment and the characteristic of the second environment; modifying, by the recipient device, the media content to generate first updated media content according to the difference; capturing, by the recipient device, images of a series of gestures; identifying, by the recipient device, a single command from the series of gestures; and modifying, by the recipient device, the first updated media content to generate second updated media content according to the single command. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 23)
