Patent number: 10481237Abstract: A method and system are provided for controlling a measurement device remotely through gestures performed by a user. The method includes providing a relationship between a command and a gestures. A gesture is performed by the user with the user's body that corresponds to the user gesture. The gesture performed by the user is detected. A command is determined based at least in part on the detected gesture. Then the command is executed with the laser tracker.Type: GrantFiled: March 2, 2018Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Robert E. Bridges, David H. Parker, Kelley Fletcher

Patent number: 9684055Abstract: A method and system are provided for controlling a measurement device remotely through gestures performed by a user. The method includes providing a relationship between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of user gestures. A gesture is performed by the user with the user's body that corresponds to one of the plurality of user gestures. The gesture performed by the user is detected. A first command is determined from one of the plurality of commands based at least in part on the detected gesture. Then the first command is executed with the laser tracker.Type: GrantFiled: December 12, 2016Date of Patent: June 20, 2017Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Robert E. Bridges, David H.

Patent number: 9618602Abstract: A method and system are provided for controlling a laser tracker remotely from the laser tracker through gestures performed by a user. The method includes providing a rule of correspondence between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of user gestures. A gesture is performed by the user with the user's body that corresponds to one of the plurality of user gestures. The gesture performed by the user is detected. The gesture recognition engine determines a first command from one of the plurality of commands that correspond with the detected gesture. Then the first command is executed with the laser tracker.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2016Date of Patent: April 11, 2017Assignee: FARO TECHNOLOGIES, INC.Inventors: Robert E. Bridges, David H.
