GESTURE BASED COMPUTER INTERFACE SYSTEM AND METHOD

摘要

Gesture generated commands are input into a computer by use of a system including a hand movable input device having a hand-holdable housing for the effecting of a gesture by a user; and sensor apparatus for sensing predetermined motions of the housing with respect to a biaxial system and for transmitting signals corresponding to sensed motions of the housing, to a computer; signal interpretation software for interpreting signals from the sensor apparatus as being gesture-generated and for emitting a predetermined command to the computer corresponding to the gesture; non-visual display apparatus including one or more tactile output device; and a computer program for operating the non-visual display apparatus so as to provide to a user information relating to a combination of hand motions corresponding to a command.

主权项

1. A system for the inputting of gesture generated commands into a computer by a user, which includes:
(a) a hand movable input device which includes:
(i) a hand-holdable housing for the effecting of a gesture by a user; and(ii) sensor apparatus for sensing predetermined motions of said housing with respect to a biaxial system and for transmitting signals corresponding to sensed motions of said housing, to a computer; (e) signal interpretation software for interpreting signals from said sensor apparatus as being gesture-generated and for emitting a predetermined command to the computer corresponding to the gesture; (f) non-visual display apparatus including at least one tactile output device; and (g) a computer program for operating said non-visual display apparatus so as to provide to a user information relating to a combination of hand motions corresponding to a command.
