Abstract
Methods and apparatus for gesture-based control of a device in a multi-user environment are described. The methods prioritize users or gestures based on a predetermined priority ruleset. A first-user-in-time ruleset prioritizes gestures based on when in time they were begun by a user in the camera FOV. An action-hierarchy ruleset prioritizes gestures based on the actions they correspond to, and the relative positions of those actions within an action hierarchy. A designated-master-user ruleset prioritizes gestures performed by an explicitly designated master user. Methods for designating a new master user and for providing gesture-control-related user feedback in a multi-user environment are also described.
