Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2011/151997
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
An apparatus and method provide logic for providing gestural control. In one implementation, an apparatus includes a receiving unit configured to receive a first spatial position associated with a first portion of a human body, and a second spatial position associated with a second portion of the human body. An identification unit is configured to identify a group of objects based on at least the first spatial position, and a selection unit is configured to select an object of the identified group based on the second spatial position.
