Abstract:
1. A method to enable an unadorned user-object to communicate using gestures made in (x,y,z) space with an eye glasses wearable electronic device coupleable to a display having a display screen whereon user viewable imagery is displayable, the method including the following steps: (a) providing said eye glasses wearable electronic device with an optical acquisition system operable to capture image data of said unadorned user-object within a three-dimensional hover zone; (b) defining within said three-dimensional hover zone an interaction subzone including at least one z (c) processing image data captured at step (a) representing an interaction of said unadorned user-object with at least a portion of said interaction subzone, defined in step (b), to produce three-dimensional positional information of a detected said interaction; (d) using said three-dimensional positional information produced at step (c) to determine at least one of (i) when in time, and (ii) where in (x,y,z) space said unadorned user-object interaction occurred; (e) following determination at step (d), identifying a gesture being made by said unadorned user-object; and (f) in response to identification of a gesture at step (e), generating and coupling at least one command to said display, said command having at least one characteristic selected from a group consisting of (I) said command causes altering at least one aspect of said viewable imagery, and (II) said command causes alteration of a state of said display regardless of whether an altered said state is user viewable.
