Abstract
A computer-implemented method, a system, and software includes providing output from a touch-based device to an external display; detecting gestures from a user located away from and not physically touching the touch-based device; and translating the detected gestures into appropriate commands for the touch-based device. The systems and methods provide alternative control of touch-based devices such as mobile devices. The systems and methods can include a mobile device coupled to an external display device and controlled via user gestures monitored by a collocated sensor. Accordingly, the systems and methods allow users to operate applications ('apps') on the mobile device displayed on the external display device and controlled without touching the mobile device using gestures monitored by the collocated sensor. This enables the wide variety of rich apps to be operated in a new manner.
