  • Patent number: 11983401
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to selecting a virtual item from a virtual grid in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space. It also relates to navigating a virtual modality displaying a plurality of virtual items arranged in a grid by and automatically selecting a virtual item in a virtual grid at a terminal end of a control gesture of a control object responsive to a terminal gesture that transitions the control object from one physical arrangement to another. In one implementation, the control object is a hand. In some implementations, physical arrangements of the control object include at least a flat hand with thumb parallel to fingers, closed, half-open, pinched, curled, fisted, mime gun, okay sign, thumbs-up, ILY sign, one-finger point, two-finger point, thumb point, or pinkie point.

  • Patent number: 9868449
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to an embeddable motion sensory control device that detects gestures in a three dimensional (3D) sensory space within a vehicle cabin, detecting a gesture in the 3D sensory space and interpreting the gesture as a command to a (sub) system of the vehicle under control, and issuing the command when appropriate.

  • Publication number: 20170235377
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to a method of realistic rotation of a virtual object for an interaction between a control object in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and the virtual object in a virtual space that the control object interacts with. In particular, it relates to detecting free-form gestures of a control object in a three-dimensional (3D) sensory space and generating for display a 3D solid control object model for the control object during the free-form gestures, including sub-components of the control object and in response to detecting a two e sub-component free-form gesture of the control object in the 3D sensory space in virtual contact with the virtual object, depicting, in the generated display, the virtual contact and resulting rotation of the virtual object by the 3D solid control object model.

  • Patent number: 5072370
    Abstract: A plurality of electronic data processing machines comprised of remote personal computers, workstations, or the like, and a central monitoring host computer are interconnected to a conventional alternating current power bus. Each machine includes a power line modem for modulating and demodulating digitized data and control signals on to an off the power bus, respectively. The remote machines further include system software which digitizes a prompted-for user I.D. and respective unique machine I.D. code, stored in BIOS or other ROM, in the machine's operating system, or in DASDI in hidden files, and transmits, via modulation onto the power bus, these digitized codes to the host computer. The host computer includes software providing the functions of monitoring all power circuits for such encoded incoming machine and user I.D.
