Claim:
1. In a computing device, a method for controlling a computer system, the method comprising: receiving a first single-axis depth map from a first depth camera, the first single-axis depth map providing a set of depth coordinates associated with a corresponding set of X, Y coordinates, the first depth camera comprising a first laser and a first image sensing array; receiving a second single-axis depth map from a second depth camera positioned to capture a different view of a scene from a view captured by the first depth camera, the second single-axis depth map providing a set of depth coordinates associated with a corresponding set of X, Y coordinates, the second depth camera comprising a second laser and a second image sensing array; stitching the first single-axis depth map to the second single-axis depth map to yield a multi-axis depth map; detecting, in real time, a gesture of a human subject in the multi-axis depth map; and providing input data indicative of the gesture to the computer system.
