  • Patent number: 12449912
    Abstract: A computer-implemented touchless user-interface control method for an electronic display, comprising: detecting, using at least a first and a second depth camera, an input object and determining a set of 3D-points corresponding to the input object; wherein the set of 3D-points includes a first subset of 3D-points which is based on data captured by the first depth camera, and a second subset of 3D-points which is based on data captured by the second depth camera; performing 3D-point-fading, wherein weights are assigned to the 3D-points.
