Abstract
A basis image is captured by an image capture device and transmitted to a computing unit. A gesture of a user of the computing unit is identified by the computing unit based on the basis image. An action is determined and executed by the computing unit depending on the identified gesture. The action is determined by the computing unit for at least one of the gestures in addition in dependence on a relative position of the image capture device relative to a display device. No later than upon capturing the basis image, an additional image is captured by at least one additional image capture device and transmitted to the computing unit. On the basis of the additional image, the relative position of the image capture device relative to the display device is determined by the computing unit.
