  • Patent number: 9753546
    Abstract: A system and method for selective gesture interaction using spatial volumes is disclosed. The method includes processing data frames that each includes one or more body point locations of a collaborating user that is interfacing with an application at each time intervals, defining a spatial volume for each collaborating user based on the processed data frames, detecting a gesture performed by a first collaborating user based on the processed data frames, determining the gesture to be an input gesture performed by the first collaborating user in a first spatial volume, interpreting the input gesture based on a context of the first spatial volume that includes a role of the first collaborating user, a phase of the application, and an intersection volume between the first spatial volume and a second spatial volume for a second collaborating user, and providing an input command to the application based on the interpreted input gesture.

  • Publication number: 20160147433
    Abstract: A method and system for improving user interface efficiency through muscle memory and a radial menu are disclosed. A computer device stores a list of reference commands. The computer device receives a first input component from a user. The computer device then determines whether the first input component matches a first component of at least one reference command in the list of reference commands. In accordance with a determination that the first input component matches the first component of the at least one reference command in the list of reference commands, the computer device continues to monitor user input without displaying a radial menu. In accordance with a determination that the first input component does not match the first component of the at least one reference command in the list of reference commands, the computer device displays the radial menu to the user.
