Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method comprising: tracking a position of a hand of a user of a first computing device using a camera of the first computing device; detecting an attach event relating to a first gesture performed by the hand of the user based at least in part upon utilizing at least one of the camera or a touch sensor of the first computing device, wherein the at least one of the camera or the touch sensor detects one or more movements of the hand of the user that correspond to the first gesture; associating data represented by a graphical object with the user, wherein the graphical object is displayed on a display screen of the first computing device at a position on the display screen that corresponds to a location of the attach event, and wherein the data represented by the graphical object resides on the first computing device; receiving a signal from a second computing device indicating that a release event, relating to a second gesture, has been detected with respect to the second computing device; sending a copy of the data represented by the graphical object to the second computing device; and terminating the association between the data represented by the graphical object and the user.
