Abstract
Described herein is a wireless remote control device (100) which can be used on the hand (150) of a user to provide both hardware-based control signals which can be associated with gesture-based control signals for enhanced gesture recognition systems. The device (100) comprises a housing (110) having a sensing unit having at least one control button (120, 130, 140) which is capable of generating a control signal for an associated computerized system. A computerized system utilizes information obtained from the control device (100) together with information obtained from a gesture recognition system to resolve any ambiguities due to, for example, occlusion of the hand performing the gesture or the hand being outside the field of view of an imaging system associated with the computerized system, and to trigger interactions within the gesture based interaction system.
