Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus for gesture recognition, according to aspects of the disclosure contained herein, include a processing system configured to obtain at least one physical dimension of a user and determine a gesture of the user based on the at least one physical dimension independent of a location of the user relative to the apparatus. A method for gesture recognition is also disclosed.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An apparatus for gesture recognition comprising: a processing system configured to: determine an at least one physical dimension of a user; identify an at least one movement of the user; and determine a gesture of the user independent of a location of the user relative to the apparatus by scaling gesture recognition to the at least one physical dimension, wherein the scaling includes adjusting at least one movement parameter used to determine the gestur…
