Methods and Systems for Position Detection Using an Interactive Volume
First Claim
1. A computing system, comprising:
- a processor;
a memory; and
at least one imaging device configured to image a space,wherein the memory comprises at least one program component that configures the processor to;
access data from the at least one imaging device, the data comprising image data of an object in the space,access data defining an interactive volume within the space,determine a space coordinate associated with the object, anddetermine a command based on the space coordinate and the interactive volume.

Abstract
A computing device, such as a desktop, laptop, tablet computer, a mobile device, or a computing device integrated into another device (e.g., an entertainment device for gaming, a television, an appliance, kiosk, vehicle, tool, etc.) is configured to determine user input commands from the location and/or movement of one or more objects in a space. The object(s) can be imaged using one or more optical sensors and the resulting position data can be interpreted in any number of ways to determine a command. An interactive volume can be defined and adjusted so that the same movement at different locations within the volume may result in different corresponding movement of a cursor or other interpretations of input.
