A method, system, apparatus, and/or device that may include a sensor configured to obtain position information of at least a portion of a hand in a space relative to a first axis and a second axis. The method, system, apparatus, and/or device may include a processing device configured to: determine that fingers and a thumb of the hand are located within the defined area based on the position information; determine a first position of the fingers and a second position of the thumb based on the position information; in response to the fingers being in a clenched position, generate hand position information that only includes position information of the thumb; and in response to the position information of the thumb indicated the thumb is extended and oriented in a first direction along a first axis or a second axis, execute a first instruction.

Method and apparatus for a three dimensional interface

A single pose is used in multiple postures to deliver at least a minimal core set of free space gestures for navigating within an interface, so as to be intuitive to users, easily remembered, straightforward for developers, and clearly defined for processing. A 'thumb-extended' pose with fingers together and clenched and thumb extended and raised is oriented in four cardinal directions so as to manifest four distinct postures: right, left, up, and down. Thumb-right and thumb left invoke scrolling forward and scrolling back, respectively, and thumb-up and thumb-down invoke yes and no respectively.
