Abstract
A visual user interface provided on a display. The display provides a plurality of selection options to a user. A processor is operatively coupled to the display for sequentially highlighting each of the plurality of selection options for a period of time. The processor, during the highlighting, receives one or more images of the user from an image input device and determines whether a selection gesture from the user is contained in the one or more images. When a selection gesture is contained in the one or more images, the processor performs an action determined by the highlighted selection option.
