Claim Text:
1. A gesture-recognition system comprising: an image-capture device for obtaining digital images of an object in 3D space; a processor-executable analysis module for computationally determining a path of movement of the object based on the captured images; a computer memory for storing a digital representation of the path of movement; and a processor-executable mode-control module configured for: interpreting user gestures in accordance with a first mode of operation; analyzing the path of movement to determine an intent of a user to change modes of operation by determining the amount of curvature of the path of movement based upon a maximum distance the path of movement is from a straight line between a staring point and ending point of the path of movement; and upon determining the intent of the user to change modes of operation, interpreting user gestures in accordance with a second mode of operation.
