1. A method for a user to control operation of a laser tracker with steps comprising:
providing the laser tracker having a structure rotatable about a first axis and a second axis, a first light source that launches a first light beam from the structure, a distance meter, a first angular encoder that measures a first angle of rotation about the first axis, a second angular encoder that measures a second angle of rotation about the second axis, and a processor; providing a second light source and a camera, the second light source configured to project a second light beam, the camera configured to acquire an image of the second light beam reflected off of a user; providing a rule of correspondence between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of gestures, each gesture from among the plurality of gestures corresponding to a body position of the user; projecting the second light beam from the second light source and acquiring with the camera a first image of the user; generating a skeletal model of the user from the first image; performing by the user a first gesture from among the plurality of gestures, the first gesture corresponding to a first body position; identifying from the skeletal model the performing by the user of the first gesture; determining the first command based at least in part on the identifying of the first gesture according to the rule of correspondence; and executing the first command with the laser tracker. |
