Described herein is a wireless remote control device (100) which can be used on the hand (150) of a user to provide both hardware-based control signals which can be associated with gesture-based control signals for enhanced gesture recognition systems. The device (100) comprises a housing (110) having a sensing unit having at least one control button (120, 130, 140) which is capable of generating a control signal for an associated computerised system. A computerised system utilises information obtained from the control device (100) together with information obtained from a gesture recognition system to resolve any ambiguities due to, for example, occlusion of the hand performing the gesture or the hand being outside the field of view of an imaging system associated with the computerised system, and to trigger interactions within the gesture based interaction system. |

1. A method of controlling an interactive computerised system having a three-dimensional imaging system, the three-dimensional imaging system including a three-dimensional camera for providing three-dimensional information of at least one part of a user present within its frustum, the method comprising the steps of:
a) providing a user-operated control device to be associated with at least one part of the user, the user-operated control device comprising: a housing; at least one sensing module including at least one control means mounted in the housing, each control button being capable of generating a control signal for the computerised system when operated; at least one feedback module mounted in the housing for providing contextual feedback to the user in accordance with an application operating on the computerised system; a communication module located within the housing and through which each control signal is transmitted to, and each feedback signal is received from, the computerised system; and a controller module mounted in the housing, the controller controlling the sensing module, the communication module and the feedback module in accordance with each generated control signal; b) generating control signals from at least one control means on the user-operated control device; and c) using the generated control signals to control the interactive computerised system; wherein the method further comprises the step of using the information provided by the user-operated control device relating to the part of the user with which it is associated to resolve ambiguities in information measured by the three-dimensional imaging system. |
