TLDR
In this article, a representation of a user can move with respect to a graphical user interface based on input of the user based on a gesture recognition system, and based on the recognized gesture, the display of the graphical interface is altered and an application control is outputted.Abstract:
A representation of a user can move with respect to a graphical user interface based on input of a user. The graphical user interface comprises a central region and interaction elements disposed outside of the central region. The interaction elements are not shown until the representation of the user is aligned with the central region. A gesture of the user is recognized, and, based on the recognized gesture, the display of the graphical user interface is altered and an application control is outputted.read more
