1. A computer-implemented method comprising:
- causing a representation of a user to move with respect to a graphical user interface based on input of the user, wherein the graphical user interface comprises;
a central region, andinteraction elements disposed outside of the central region, wherein the interaction elements are not shown until the representation of the user is aligned with the central region;
recognizing a gesture of the user;
causing display of the graphical user interface to be altered based on the recognized gesture; and
outputting an application control based on the recognized gesture.

Abstract
A representation of a user can move with respect to a graphical user interface based on input of a user. The graphical user interface comprises a central region and interaction elements disposed outside of the central region. The interaction elements are not shown until the representation of the user is aligned with the central region. A gesture of the user is recognized, and, based on the recognized gesture, the display of the graphical user interface is altered and an application control is outputted.
