  • Publication number: 20190272041
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device that may include a sensor configured to obtain position information of at least a portion of a hand in a space relative to a first axis and a second axis. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a processing device configured to: determine that fingers and a thumb of the hand are located within the defined area based on the position information; determine a first position of the fingers and a second position of the thumb based on the position information; in response to the fingers being in a clenched position, generate hand position information that only includes position information of the thumb; and in response to the position information of the thumb indicated the thumb is extended and oriented in a first direction along a first axis or a second axis, execute a first instruction.

  • Patent number: 10401966
    Abstract: A free space input standard is instantiated on a processor. Free space input is sensed and communicated to the processor. If the free space input satisfies the free space input standard, a touch screen input response is invoked in an operating system. The free space input may be sensed using continuous implicit, discrete implicit, active explicit, or passive explicit approaches. The touch screen input response may be invoked through communicating virtual touch screen input, a virtual input event, or a virtual command to or within the operating system. In this manner free space gestures may control existing touch screen interfaces and devices, without modifying those interfaces and devices directly to accept free space gestures.

  • Publication number: 20190167764
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device that may include a display configured to display a virtual object and a sensor configured to detect a viewer input. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a processing device configured to: associate a first cursor with a first form of a user input; associate a second cursor with a second form of the user input; determine the first form of the user input is associated with a type of the virtual object; display the virtual object with the first cursor to the viewer; detect the viewer input from the viewer of the display; determine whether the form of the viewer input detected by the sensor is the first form, the second form, or an unknown form; and in response to the form of the viewer input being the first form, execute an executable instruction associated with the user input.

  • Patent number: 10303255
    Abstract: A single pose is used in multiple postures to deliver at least a minimal core set of free space gestures for navigating within an interface, so as to be intuitive to users, easily remembered, straightforward for developers, and clearly defined for processing. A “thumb-extended” pose with fingers together and clenched and thumb extended and raised is oriented in four cardinal directions so as to manifest four distinct postures: right, left, up, and down. Thumb-right and thumb left invoke scrolling forward and scrolling back, respectively, and thumb-up and thumb-down invoke yes and no respectively.

  • Patent number: 10248284
    Abstract: To prompt input and provide feedback on input to a user with an interface, inputs and graphical cursors associated with those inputs are defined. Each input may have several forms such as base, hover, engaged, completed, and error. User input is anticipated. The base form of the anticipated input cursor is displayed to prompt the user for the anticipated input. If user hover is detected that matches anticipated input, the hover form is displayed to confirm the match to the user. If user input is detected that matches anticipated input, the engaged form is displayed as confirmation. If user input is completed that matches anticipated input, the completed form is displayed as confirmation. If user hover or input does not match anticipated input, the error form is displayed to indicate mismatch. Not all cursors must have all forms, and some cursors may have multiples of some forms.

  • Publication number: 20190050112
    Abstract: A method, system, apparatus, and/or device for sensing an input in an augmented reality construct. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a processing device and a sensor. The processing device may be configured to determine a virtual boundary within an augmented reality construct, define a first portion of the virtual boundary within the augmented reality construct, and define a second portion of the virtual boundary within the augmented reality construct. The sensor may be sense a first input from an end-effector within the first portion of the virtual boundary and sense a second input from the end-effector within the second portion of the virtual boundary, where the processing device may further generate a device input that corresponds to the first input and the second input and send the device input to another device.
