Abstract
A user to machine interface emulates a touch interface on a screen. The interface is configured for operating in a touch emulation mode based on a triggering event. A triggering event may be a rotation around a first axis of an angle higher than a first threshold. Analysis of the amount of rotation around a second axis may be used to determine the number of fingers defining a specific touch gesture. An infinite variety of touch gestures may therefore be emulated by a remote control based on application context thus allowing for multiple uses of the touch screen machine from a distance.
