Abstract

See full text

Methods and systems for controlling a computing-based device based on gestures made within a predetermined range of a camera wherein the predetermined range is a subset of the field of view of the camera. Any gestures made outside of the predetermined range are ignored and do not cause the computing-based device to perform any action. In some examples, the gestures are used to control a drawing canvas that is implemented in a video conference session. In these examples, a single camera may be used to generate an image of a video conference user which is used to detect gestures in the predetermined range and provide other parties to the video conference session a visual image of the user.
