摘要:
Aspects of the present disclosure relate to controlling the functions of various devices based on spatial relationships. In one example, a system may include a depth and visual camera and a computer (networked or local) for processing data from the camera. The computer may be connected (wired or wirelessly) to any number of devices that can be controlled by the system. A user may use a mobile device to define a volume of space relative to the camera. The volume of space may then be associated with a controlled device as well as one or more control commands. When the volume of space is subsequently occupied, the one or more control commands may be used to control the controlled device. In this regard, a user may switch a device on or off, increase volume or speed, etc. simply by occupying the volume of space.

With the advent of touch-free interfaces such as described in the present disclosure, it is no longer necessary for computer interfaces to be in predefined locations (e.g., desktops) or configuration (e.g., rectangular keyboard). The present invention makes use of touch-free interfaces to encourage users to interface with a computer in an ergonomically sound manner. Among other things, the present invention implements a system for localizing human body parts such as hands, arms, shoulders, or even the fully body, with a processing device such as a computer along with a computer display to provide visual feedback on the display that encourages a user to maintain an ergonomically preferred position with ergonomically preferred motions. For example, the present invention encourages a user to maintain his motions within an ergonomically preferred range without have to reach out excessively or repetitively.

The present invention provides a system and computerized method for receiving image information and translating it to computer inputs. In an embodiment of the invention, image information is received for a predetermined action space to identify an active body part. From such image information, depth information is extracted to interpret the actions of the active body part. Predetermined gestures can then be identified to provide input to a computer. For example, gestures that can be interpreted to mimic computerized touchscreen operation. Also, touchpad or mouse operations can be mimicked.

Methods, systems, devices and arrangements are implemented for motion tracking. One such system for tracking at least one object articulated in three-dimensional space is implemented using data obtained from a depth sensor. The system includes at least one processing circuit configured and arranged to determine location probabilities for a plurality of object parts by identifying, from image data obtained from the depth sensor, features of the object parts. The processing circuit selects a set of poses for the at least one object based upon the determined location probabilities and generates modeled depth sensor data by applying the selected set of poses to a model of the at least one object. The processing circuit selects a pose for the at least one object model-based based upon a probabilistic comparison between the data obtained from the depth sensor and the modeled depth sensor data.
摘要:
A variety of methods, systems, devices and arrangements are implemented for use with motion capture. One such method is implemented for identifying salient points from three-dimensional image data. The method involves the execution of instructions on a computer system to generate a three-dimensional surface mesh from the three-dimensional image data. Lengths of possible paths from a plurality of points on the three-dimensional surface mesh to a common reference point are categorized. The categorized lengths of possible paths are used to identify a subset of the plurality of points as salient points.

Systems and methods for a situated multi-user environment are provided. In one aspect, the method includes a step for receiving a user event message for a first user based on data received by a data source. The method also includes a step for updating a display based on the received user event message for the first user, wherein the display provides an indication of a relative physical location of the first user amongst a group of users within a certain proximity of each other. The method also includes a step for receiving a command from a first user to share a content item with a second user in the group of users. The method also includes a step for providing access to the shared content item to a device of the second user.
