Abstract
In general, this disclosure describes techniques for providing a gesture-based user interface. For example, according to some aspects of the disclosure, a user interface generally includes a camera and a computing device that identifies and tracks the motion of one or more fingertips of a user. In some examples, the user interface is configured to identify predefined gestures (e.g., patterns of motion) associated with certain motions of the user's fingertips. In another example, the user interface is configured to identify hand postures (e.g., patterns of showing up of fingertips). Accordingly, the user can interact with the computing device by performing the gestures.
