METHODS AND APPARATUS RECOGNITION OF START AND/OR STOP PORTIONS OF A GESTURE USING AN AUXILIARY SENSOR AND FOR MAPPING OF ARBITRARY HUMAN MOTION WITHIN AN ARBITRARY SPACE BOUNDED BY A USER'S RANGE OF MOTION

摘要

Described are apparatus and methods for reconstructing a gesture by aggregating various data from various sensors, including data for recognition of start and/or stop portions of the gesture using an auxiliary sensor, such as a capacitive touch sensor or a MEMS sensor. Also described are apparatus and methods for reconstructing a partial skeletal pose by aggregating various data from various sensors, In particular are described methods and apparatus for mapping of arbitrary human motion within an arbitrary space bounded by a user's range of motion. In particular embodiments, methods and apparatus are described for projecting arbitrary human motion in a 3-dimensional coordinate space into a 2-dimensional plane to enable interacting with 2-dimensional user interfaces,
