Gestural Sorting of Content

摘要

Content, such as an email inbox may be presented on a display. A three dimensional position of an object may be determined at two or more reference points. A movement of the object may be decoded based on the determined difference between the two or more reference points. The movement may correspond to a gesture. The decoded movement may be used to sort content. For example, content may be sorted to a function such as archive or to a folder.
