Abstract: Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure are provided for seamlessly extending interactive inputs. In an embodiment, a method comprises detecting with a first sensor at least a portion of an input by a control object. The method also comprises determining that the control object is positioned in a transition area. The method further comprises determining whether to detect a subsequent portion of the input with a second sensor based at least in part on the determination that the control object is positioned in the transition area.

Abstract: Systems and methods according to one or more embodiments of the present disclosure provide improved multitasking on user devices. In an embodiment, a method for multitasking comprises detecting a non-touch gesture input received by a user device. The method also comprises associating the non-touch gesture input with an application running in a background, wherein a different focused application is running in a foreground. And the method also comprises controlling the background application with the associated non-touch gesture input without affecting the foreground application.

Abstract: Methods and apparatuses are presented for determining whether a gesture is being performed in a sequence of source images. In some embodiments, a method includes detecting a gesture in each of one or more reference images using one or more gesture models of a plurality of gesture models. The method may also include selecting a first gesture model from the one or more gesture models that most closely matches the detected gesture, prioritizing the first gesture model over other gesture models in the plurality of gesture models for searching for the gesture in the sequence of source images, and scanning the sequence of source images to determine whether the gesture is being performed, using the prioritized first gesture model. If the gesture is being performed, the method may end scanning prior to using another gesture model of the plurality of gesture models to determine whether the gesture is being performed.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media are provided for use with a system configured to detect gestures. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting a first user gesture meeting a first condition to enter a mode of operation. The method may further include exiting the mode of operation. The method may further include detecting a second user gesture meeting a second condition to reenter the mode of operation based on the detecting the first user gesture, wherein the second condition is less stringent than the first condition.

Abstract: Systems, methods, apparatuses, and computer-readable media for are provided for engaging and re-engaging a gesture mode. In one embodiment, a method performed by the computer system detects an initial presence of a user pose, indicates to a user progress toward achieving a predetermined state while continuing to detect the user pose, determines that the detection of the user pose has reached the predetermined state, and responds to the detection of the user pose based on determining that the detection has reached the predetermined state. The computer system may further prompt the user by displaying a representation of the user pose corresponding to an option for a user decision, detecting the user decision based at least in part on determining that the detection of the user pose has reached the predetermined state, and responding to the user decision.
