Abstract
A visual control system controls a controlled component. In one embodiment, the visual control system controls the controlled component based on a visual location of a user. In another embodiment, input from a visual perception device is used to provide focus control for an audio input device. In additional embodiments, the visual control system stops, starts or suppresses speech recognition or other audio functions when the direction of the sound detected by the audio input device is not coming from the user's visual location.
