Enhanced image viewing, in which a user's gesture is recognized from first and second images, an interaction command corresponding to the recognized user's gesture is determined, and, based on the determined interaction command, an image object displayed in a user interface is manipulated.

Enhanced gesture-based image manipulation

A remote wand for controlling the operations of a media system is provided. The wand may be operative to control the movement of a cursor displayed on screen by the position and orientation at which the wand is held. As the user moves the wand, the on-screen cursor may move. The user may use the wand to control a plurality of operations and applications that may be available from the media system, including for example zoom operations, a keyboard application, an image application, an illustration application, and a media application.

Gui applications for use with 3d remote controller

An image inputter inputs image data in which a user has been captured. An extractor extracts a region corresponding to a hand of the user included in the image data input by the image inputter. A determinator determines whether or not the region corresponding to the hand of the user extracted by the extractor is in a stationary state. If it is determined by the determinator that the region corresponding to the hand of the user is in a stationary state, a recognizer recognizes the shape of the region corresponding to the hand of the user extracted by the extractor. Otherwise, if it is determined by the determinator that the region corresponding to the hand of the user is not in a stationary state, the recognizer recognizes the movement of the region corresponding to the hand of the user extracted by the extractor. An inputter inputs data associated with the shape or the movement recognized by the recognizer.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To smoothly direct an instruction from an instruction input area SOLUTION: In this game program, a plurality of instructions are allocated to an instruction icon When bringing a touch pen 40 into contact with a contact input type monitor, coordinate data of a contact start position SS are recognized When the coordinate data of the contact start position SS accord with coordinate data inside the instruction icon, coordinate data of a succeeding contact position are recognized When the coordinate data of the succeeding contact position do not accord with the coordinate data of the contact start position SS, one instruction of the plurality of instructions is executed based on a track prescribed by the contact start position SS and the succeeding contact position of the touch pen 40 based on the coordinate data of the contact start position SS and the coordinate data of the succeeding contact position COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT

Game program, game device, and game control method

Provided is a method for proximity sensing in an interactive display and a method of processing a proximity sensing image. The method for proximity-sensing may include suspending, in a three-dimensional (3D) space, at least one hand of a user to manipulate at least one of a viewpoint of the user and a position of a virtual object displayed on a screen, and changing the virtual object by manipulating at least one of the position of the virtual object and the viewpoint of the user based on the suspending.

Method for suspension sensing in interactive display, method for processing suspension sensing image, and proximity sensing apparatus

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an animation editing system which can make gestures with the hands and fingers execute physical operations. SOLUTION: A user 160 executes each operation for editing animations by means of the user's gestures with the hands and fingers on an animation editing screen which is projected to a screen 150 from a projector 130 connected to an image-projecting computer 110. A camera 140 connected to an image-processing computer 120 picks up the gestures, and the image-processing computer 120 recognizes the positions of the hands and fingers. The image pickup computer 110 recognizes the meanings of the gestures from the positions of the user's 160 hands and fingers, executes image editing processing according to the gestures, and projects the animation editing screen again to the screen 150. The above interface solves the problems of usual animation editing systems operated with a mouse or the like. COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI
