Abstract
Providing input signals to a system having a display, the system being coupled to a source of video data signals, such as a video camera, is accomplished by analyzing the video data signals to detect an object in the scene over or at least partially coinciding with a location of at least one transparent user interface element, inserting at least one transparent user interface element into the captured video data signals, rendering the scene represented by the video data signals on the display such that the scene is transparently visible on the display, and generating an input signal for the system in response to detecting the object over or at least partially coinciding with the at least one transparent user interface element.
