Disclosed are methods for determining and tracking a current location of a handheld pointing device, such as a remote control for an entertainment system, on a depth map generated by a gesture recognition control system. The methods disclosed herein enable identifying a userэs hand gesture, and generating corresponding motion data. Further, the handheld pointing device may send motion, such as acceleration or velocity, and/or orientation data such as pitch, roll, and yaw angles. The motion data of user's hand gesture and motion data (orientation data) as received from the handheld pointing device are then compared, and if they correspond to each other, it is determined that the handheld pointing device is in active use by the user as it is held by a particular hand. Accordingly, a location of the handheld pointing device on the depth map can be determined. |
