Base Claim:
1. A method for recognizing a multi-sensor gesture, comprising: receiving a plurality of sensor inputs; acquiring a first confidence threshold for determining that a first gesture has been performed based on a first sensor input of the plurality of sensor inputs; acquiring a second confidence threshold for determining that a second gesture has been performed based on a second sensor input of the plurality of sensor inputs; detecting a compensating event for the first sensor input; increasing the first confidence threshold in response to detecting the compensating event; detecting that the first gesture has been performed based on the increased first confidence threshold and the first sensor input; detecting that the second gesture has been performed based on the second confidence threshold and the second sensor input; determining that the multi-sensor gesture has been performed in response to detecting that both the first gesture and the second gesture have been performed; and executing a command on a computing system in response to determining that the multi-sensor gesture has been performed.

Claim 2:
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising: the first sensor input derives from a depth camera; the second sensor input derives from a microphone; and the determining that the multi-sensor gesture has been performed includes determining that a person has pointed to a particular virtual object using the first sensor input and that the person has said a particular word using the second sensor input.
