  • Patent number: 9658695
    Abstract: A computer-implemented method, a system, and software includes providing output from a touch-based device to an external display; detecting gestures from a user located away from and not physically touching the touch-based device; and translating the detected gestures into appropriate commands for the touch-based device. The systems and methods provide alternative control of touch-based devices such as mobile devices. The systems and methods can include a mobile device coupled to an external display device and controlled via user gestures monitored by a collocated sensor. Accordingly, the systems and methods allow users to operate applications (“apps”) on the mobile device displayed on the external display device and controlled without touching the mobile device using gestures monitored by the collocated sensor. This enables the wide variety of rich apps to be operated in a new manner.

  • Patent number: 9058605
    Abstract: A method for simulating accessory display on a subject. An accessory is coupled with a mount with at least one contact portion configured to contact the accessory. The mount is positioned in at least one orientation with respect to an imaging device. At least one accessory image is captured of the accessory coupled with the mount in the at least one orientation using the imaging device. At least one accessory matte image is captured. At least one accessory foreground matte is generated for the at least one accessory. An accessory background matte is generated for the at least one accessory.
