1. A method for executing and interpreting gesture inputs in a gesture recognition interface system, the method comprising:
- detecting and translating a first sub-gesture provided by a first hand of a user in a three-dimensional gesture recognition environment into a first device input that defines a given reference associated with a portion of displayed visual content;
detecting and translating a second sub-gesture provided by a second hand of a user while concurrently maintaining the first sub-gesture with the first hand of the user in the three-dimensional gesture recognition environment into a second device input that defines an execution command for the portion of the displayed visual content to which the given reference refers; and
detecting and translating a third sub-gesture into a third device input that is configured to execute a command associated with manipulation of the portion of the displayed visual content to which the given reference refers while at least one of the first and second sub-gestures is maintained.

Abstract
One embodiment of the invention includes a method for executing and interpreting gesture inputs in a gesture recognition interface system. The method includes detecting and translating a first sub-gesture into a first device input that defines a given reference associated with a portion of displayed visual content. The method also includes detecting and translating a second sub-gesture into a second device input that defines an execution command for the portion of the displayed visual content to which the given reference refers.

8. A gesture recognition interface system comprising:
-
means for displaying visual content; means for obtaining a plurality of sequential images of a gesture input environment that is associated with the visual content; means for buffering the plurality of sequential images of the gesture input environment; means for determining compound gesture inputs including a first input gesture and a second input gesture associated with at least one input object based on three-dimensional locations of at least one feature of the at least one input object in each of the plurality of sequential images of the gesture input environment; and means for translating the compound gesture inputs into a first device input based on the first input gesture and a second device input based on the second input gesture, the first device input being configured to reference a portion of the visual content and the second device input being configured to execute at least one command that allows a user to interact with the selected portion of the displayed visual content using the first input gesture while the second input gesture is maintained, the means for translating determining the reference to the portion of the visual content based on accessing the buffered plurality of sequential images subsequent to translating the second input gesture. - View Dependent Claims (9)
