Abstract

A method to decode natural user input from a human subject. The method includes detection of a gesture and concurrent grip state of the subject. If the grip state is closed during the gesture, then a user-interface (UI) canvas of the computer system is transformed based on the gesture. If the grip state is open during the gesture, then a UI object arranged on the UI canvas is activated based on the gesture.
