Abstract

See full text

A system is disclosed for detecting or confirming gestures performed by a user by identifying a vector formed by non-adjacent joints and identifying the angle the vector forms with a reference point. Thus, the system skips one or more intermediate joints between an end joint and a proximal joint closer to the body core of a user. Skipping one or more intermediate joints results in a more reliable indication of the position or movement performed by the user, and consequently a more reliable indication of a given gesture.
