  • Patent number: 9513776
    Abstract: A system for providing wireless control of a visual aid based on movement detection is disclosed. The system also enables a presenter to gesture at a visual aid and have a pointer be displayed on screens displaying the visual aid. The system may generate a three-dimensional depth image of an environment including a user and a device displaying the visual aid. Additionally, the system may determine a position of the user relative to the environment and to the device based on the three-dimensional image. Furthermore, the system may detect a gesture based on the position of the user and the three-dimensional depth image. If the gesture made by the user matches a predetermined input gesture corresponding to a controller operation for controlling the visual aid, then the controller operation may be executed. The system may display an output of the executed controller operation at a remote device.
