TARGET AND PRESS NATURAL USER INPUT

摘要

A cursor is moved in a user interface based on a position of a joint of a virtual skeleton modeling a human subject. If a cursor position engages an object in the user interface, and all immediately-previous cursor positions within a mode-testing period are located within a timing boundary centered around the cursor position, operation in a pressing mode commences. If a cursor position remains within a constraining shape and exceeds a threshold z-distance while in the pressing mode, the object is activated.

1. A method of receiving user input, the method comprising:
moving a cursor in a user interface based on a position of a joint of a virtual skeleton, the virtual skeleton modeling a human subject imaged with a depth camera, the user interface including an object pressable in a pressing mode but not in a targeting mode; if a cursor position engages the object, and all immediately-previous cursor positions within a mode-testing period are located within a timing boundary centered around the cursor position, operating in the pressing mode; and if a cursor position engages the object, and one or more immediately-previous cursor positions within the mode-testing period are located outside of the timing boundary, operating in the targeting mode.
