INTERACTIVE SYSTEMS FOR DEPTH-BASED INPUT
First Claim
1. A depth-sensor housing frame comprising:
- a back panel;
a top panel;
a bottom panel;
a first frequency-permissive panel, the first frequency-permissive panel configured to substantially permit the passage of radiation associated with a depth sensor, but to not substantially permit the passage of visual frequency radiation;
a second frequency-permissive panel, the second frequency-permissive panel configured to substantially permit the passage of radiation associated with a depth sensor, but to not substantially permit the passage of visual frequency radiation;
one or more of depth sensor mounts; and
one or more of spacers, the one or more spacers located within an enclosure formed by the back panel, top panel, bottom panel, first frequency-permissive panel, and the second frequency-permissive panel, whereineach of the one or more depth sensor mounts are located between at least two spacers of the one or more spacers, and whereineach depth sensor mount of the one or more depth sensor mounts is configured to receive two depth sensors such that a field of view associated with each depth sensor passes through at least one of the two frequency-permissive panels.

Abstract
Various of the disclosed embodiments present depth-based user interaction systems. By anticipating various installation constraints and factors into the interface'"'"'s design, various of the disclosed embodiments facilitate benefits such as complementary depth fields of view and display orientation flexibility. Some embodiments include a frame housing for the depth sensors. Within the housing, depth sensors may be affixed to a mount, such that each sensor'"'"'s field of view is at a disparate angle. These disparate angles may facilitate gesture recognitions that might otherwise be difficult or impossible to achieve. When mounted in connection with a modular unit, the housing may provide a versatile means for integrating multiple module units into a composite interface.
