Apparatus and method for controlling interface

摘要

In an apparatus and method for controlling an interface, a user interface (UI) may be controlled using information on a hand motion and a gaze of a user without separate tools such as a mouse and a keyboard. That is, the UI control method provides more intuitive, immersive, and united control of the UI. Since a region of interest (ROI) sensing the hand motion of the user is calculated using a UI object that is controlled based on the hand motion within the ROI, the user may control the UI object in the same method and feel regardless of a distance from the user to a sensor. In addition, since positions and directions of view points are adjusted based on a position and direction of the gaze, a binocular 2D/3D image based on motion parallax may be provided.

主权项

1. An apparatus for controlling an interface, comprising:
a receiver to receive image information comprising a depth image related to a user from a sensor; a processor to determine a region of interest (ROI) based on depth information of the depth image, and generate, based on the image information, at least one of motion information regarding a hand motion within the ROI and gaze information regarding a gaze of the user; and a controller to control a 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional graphical user interface(2D/3D GUI) based on at least one of the motion information and the gaze information, wherein a resolution of the ROI is calculated based on a resolution of the sensor, a distance between the user and the sensor, and a predetermined size of ROI window in the air.
