User-centric three-dimensional interactive control environment

摘要

A computer-implemented method and system for controlling various electronic devices by recognition of gestures made by a user within a particular space defined in front of the user are provided. An example method may comprise generating a depth map of a physical scene, determining that a head of the user is directed towards a predetermined direction, establishing a virtual sensing zone defined between the user and a predetermined location, identifying a particular gesture made by the user within the virtual sensing zone, and selectively providing to the electronic device a control command associated with the particular gesture. The particular gesture may be performed by one or more characteristic forms provided by the user within the virtual sensing zone being in an active state. The characteristic forms are forms reliably distinguishable from casual forms by means of computer vision and having certain attributes, which can reliably reflect user intent.

1. A computer-implemented method for generating control commands for an electronic device, the method comprising:
generating a depth map of a physical scene; determining that a head of the user is directed towards a predetermined direction; establishing a predetermined virtual sensing zone defined between the user and a predetermined location, the predetermined virtual sensing zone being located in front of the user; activating the predetermined virtual sensing zone in accordance with the determining; identifying a particular gesture made by the user within the predetermined virtual sensing zone when the predetermined virtual sensing zone is in an active state; and selectively providing to the electronic device a control command associated with the particular gesture.
