Abstract

Methods, devices, and processor-readable media for adjusting the control-display gain of a gesture-controlled device are described. Adjusting the control-display gain may facilitate user interaction with content or UI elements rendered on a display screen of the gesture-controlled device. The control-display gain may be adjusted based on a property of how a mid-air dragging gesture is being performed by a user's hand. The property may be the location of the gesture, the orientation of the hand performing the gesture, or the velocity of the gesture. A hand that becomes stationary for a threshold time period while performing the dragging gesture may adjust the control-display gain to a different level. Control-display gain may be set to a different value based on the current velocity of the hand performing the gesture. The control-display gain levels may be selected from a continuous range of values or a set of discrete values. Devices for performing the methods are described.
