Abstract

A method includes receiving and segmenting a first sequence of three-dimensional (3D) maps over time of at least a part of a body of a user of a computerized system in order to extract 3D coordinates of a first point and a second point of the user, the 3D maps indicating a motion of the second point with respect to a display coupled to the computerized system. A line segment that intersects the first point and the second point is calculated, and a target point is identified where the line segment intersects the display. An interactive item presented on the display in proximity to the target point is engaged.
