发明名称 Method and apparatus for using gestures to control a laser tracker
摘要 <p>A method for mechanically communicating, from a user to a laser tracker, a command to control operation of the laser tracker includes steps of providing the laser tracker with a first angular encoder, providing a rule of correspondence between each of a plurality of commands and each of a plurality of rotational patterns of a portion of a tracker structure, and selecting by the user a first command from among the plurality of commands. The method further includes the steps of rotating by the user, between a first time and a second time, the portion of the laser tracker structure in a first rotational pattern from among the plurality of rotational patterns, wherein the first rotational pattern corresponds to the first command, and obtaining a collection of first angular readings from the first angular encoder, wherein the angular readings are obtained between the first time and the second time. The method also includes the steps of determining the first command based at least in part on processing the first angular readings according to the rule of correspondence, and executing the first command with the laser tracker.</p>
