Abstract

Data provided on a first computing device is represented by a graphical object displayed on a screen. A user can initiate an 'attach event' with a gesture to enable the graphical object to be associated and/or virtually attached to the user and/or a user's hand/fingers. An image capture component can view/track user movements. Based on the viewed/tracked movements, the graphical object representing the data on the first computing device can be moved on a screen of the first computing device to correspond to the movement of the user's hand/finger. The graphical object also can be moved to a position on a screen of a second computing device when the user moves a hand/fingers to an area corresponding to the position. A user may initiate a 'release event' with a gesture and can end the association and enable the data to be sent to the second computing device.
