Claim:
1. A method for controlling one or more electronic devices, comprising: detecting a particular gesture; determining a particular electronic device of the one or more electronic devices based on the particular gesture; determining a plurality of coded light pulses for controlling the particular electronic device based on the particular gesture; embedding a plurality of higher frequency light pulses within a first coded light pulse of the plurality of coded light pulses for controlling the particular electronic device; projecting a sequence of light patterns originating from an active illumination depth camera into an environment, the sequence of light patterns includes the plurality of coded light pulses for controlling the particular electronic device; and generating depth information associated with the environment, the generating depth information includes capturing a first image of the environment associated with a first high frequency light pulse of the plurality of higher frequency light pulses and generating the depth information using the first image, the generating depth information includes capturing one or more images associated with reflections of at least a subset of the sequence of light patterns within the environment.
