  • Utilizing real world objects for user input
    Patent number: 10013083
    Abstract: Methods, systems, apparatuses and computer-readable media for utilizing real world objects to interact with a user interface are presented. The method may comprise a device processing image data to identify an interactive surface area and an interacting object. Subsequently, the device may determine at least two regions of the interactive surface area. In addition, the device may map commands of a user interface to the at least two regions of the interactive surface area. Subsequently, the device may determine a selected region of the interactive surface area based on a proximity of the interacting object to the interactive surface area. In addition, the device may perform a mapped command of the user interface, wherein the mapped command is determined based on the selected region.
