1. A method comprising:
- receiving, by a computing system, information corresponding to a physical space from one or more cameras, wherein the physical space comprises a plurality of zones; and
generating, by the computing system, an image comprising one or more virtual objects and a first status indicator indicating a first portion of a user in the physical space that is capable of providing input to the computing system,wherein the first status indicator is not reactive to movement of the user within a first zone of the plurality of zones unless the user approaches a boundary to either another of the plurality of zones or to an outside physical space outside of any of the plurality of zones, andwherein, in response to detection of the at least the first portion of the user approaching an inter-zone boundary between the first zone and a second zone from a first direction, adjusting a display characteristic of the first status indicator to indicate that a change to portions of the user that are capable of interacting with the one or more virtual objects will occur if the user continues to move in the first direction.

Abstract
Systems and methods for processing gesture-based user interactions within an interactive display area are provided. The display of one or more virtual objects and user interactions with the one or more virtual objects may be further provided. Multiple interactive areas may be created by partitioning an area proximate a display into multiple volumetric spaces or zones. The zones may be associated with respective user interaction capabilities. A representation of a user on the display may change as the ability of the user to interact with one or more virtual object changes.

11. A non-transitory computer readable storage having executable instructions stored thereon, the executable instructions configured to cause a computing system having one or more hardware processors to perform operations comprising:
-
receiving information indicative of a physical space having a plurality of zones; generating an image, the image comprising; a virtual object; and a first status indicator indicating a first portion of a user in the physical space; wherein the first status indicator is not reactive to movement of the user within a first zone of the plurality of zones unless the user approaches a boundary to either another of the plurality of zones or to an outside physical space outside of any of the plurality of zones; and adjusting, in response to detection of the at least the first portion of the user approaching an inter-zone boundary between the first zone and a second zone from a first direction, a display characteristic of the first status indicator to indicate that a change to portions of the user that are capable of interacting with the one or more virtual objects will occur if the user continues to move in the first direction. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computing system, comprising:
-
a camera; and one or more hardware processors configured to execute instructions in order to cause the computing system to; receive information corresponding to a physical space from the camera, wherein the physical space comprises a plurality of zones; and generate an image comprising one or more virtual objects and a first status indicator indicating a first portion of a user that is capable of providing input to the computing system, wherein the first status indicator is not reactive to movement of the user within a first zone of the plurality of zones unless the user approaches a boundary to either another of the plurality of zones or to an outside physical space outside of any of the plurality of zones, and wherein, in response to detection of the at least the first portion of the user approaching an inter-zone boundary between the first zone and a second zone from a first direction, adjusting a display characteristic of the first status indicator to indicate that a change in which portions of the user are capable of interacting with the one or more virtual objects will occur if the user continues to move in the first direction. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
