The present invention provides a system and computerized method for receiving image information and translating it to computer inputs. In an embodiment of the invention, image information is received for a predetermined action space to identify an active body part. From such image information, depth information is extracted to interpret the actions of the active body part. Predetermined gestures can then be identified to provide input to a computer. For example, gestures that can be interpreted to mimic computerized touchscreen operation. Also, touchpad or mouse operations can be mimicked.
