Abstract

See full text

In order for a user to control a machine using hand gestures, free of any contact with the machine, an apparatus generates one or more electromagnetic field, employing receivers to measure an electromagnetic signature caused by gestures of a person's hand within the electromagnetic field. The gestures include variations of hand position, proximity, configuration, and movement. For each measured signature, the apparatus cross-references the electromagnetic signature in a predetermined library to identify a corresponding predefined machine-readable input. Ultimately, the apparatus controls a designated machine pursuant to the person's hand gestures by transmitting the identified input to the machine.
