View Patent ↗Embodiments described herein includes a system comprising a processor coupled to display devices, sensors, remote client devices, and computer applications. The computer applications orchestrate content of the remote client devices simultaneously across the display devices and the remote client devices, and allow simultaneous control of the display devices. The simultaneous control includes automatically detecting a gesture of at least one object from gesture data received via the sensors. The detecting comprises identifying the gesture using only the gesture data. The computer applications translate the gesture to a gesture signal, and control the display devices in response to the gesture signal.
1. A method comprising:
a sensor providing gesture data of a first edge device to a hardware gestural application server system, wherein the sensor is communicatively coupled to the hardware gestural application server system;
the first edge device providing inertial data of the first edge device to the hardware gestural application server system, wherein the first edge device is communicatively coupled to the hardware gestural application server system;
the hardware gestural application server system generating a first gesture signal by using the gesture data provided by the sensor and the inertial data provided by the first edge device, wherein the hardware gestural application server system uses a gesture interface of the hardware gestural application server system to generate the first gesture signal;
the hardware gestural application server system controlling content simultaneously across a plurality of display devices in response to the first gesture signal by using at least one application of the hardware gestural application server system, wherein the plurality of display devices is communicatively coupled to the hardware gestural application server system.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensor is a camera.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first edge device is a wand input device.
4. The method of claim 3 , wherein the sensor is a camera.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first edge device is a mobile communication device.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the sensor is a camera.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first edge device includes a gyroscope.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the first edge device generates the inertial data by using the gyroscope.
9. The method of claim 5 , wherein the first edge device is communicatively coupled to the hardware gestural application server system via a native application of the first edge device.
10. The method of claim 1 ,
wherein the hardware gestural application server system includes the gesture interface and at least one processor, and
wherein the at least one processor is communicatively coupled to the gesture interface, the first edge device, and the plurality of display devices.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the at least one processor is communicatively coupled to the first edge device via a native application of the first edge device.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the at least one application runs on the processor.
13. The method of claim 12 , wherein the hardware gestural application server system controls content simultaneously across the plurality of display devices in response to the first gesture signal by using a plurality of applications of the hardware gestural application server system.
