Abstract
Systems and methods are described for mapping input devices in real time. The method may include controlling a camera to capture a plurality of images, performing object recognition on the images to identify a plurality of objects, determining properties for each identified object that enable the corresponding object to provide spatial data and interaction data of a preferred input device, ranking the objects according to the determined properties, presenting the identified objects in an order corresponding to the rank that enables a user to select one of the presented objects, tracking the selected object and a human being, generating spatial data and interaction data from a result of the tracking, and providing the generated spatial data and interaction data to a computer to emulate the events of the preferred input device.
