Abstract
Embodiments related to acquiring depth images via a plurality of depth cameras are disclosed. For example, in one disclosed embodiment, a first portion of depth data is received from a first depth camera, and a second portion of depth data is received from a second depth camera. A gesture of a human subject sighted by the first and second depth cameras is detected in real time, based on combined data computed from the first and second portions of depth data. Input data indicative of the gesture is then provided to a computer system.
