Remote multi-touch control

1. A non-transitory machine-readable medium including instructions for remote multi-touch control, which when executed by a machine, cause the machine to:

enter, at a presentation device, an orientation mode for a user interface displayed by the presentation device, the orientation mode configured to allow a user of the presentation device to orient an input point on the user interface with a remote device;

receive an input from the user to trigger the presentation device to transition from the orientation mode to a pass-through mode, the input comprising a message from a peripheral device that is separate from the remote device and operated by the user, the pass-through mode configured to allow the user to control an application at the presentation device using a touch point on the remote device;

enter, at the presentation device, the pass-through mode;

receive input from the user via the remote device; and

pass the input through to the application at the presentation device.

2. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to enter the orientation mode comprise instructions to receive an indication that the user is contacting a plurality of touch points at the remote device.

3. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein when in orientation mode, the machine-readable medium comprises instructions to present a visual indication in the user interface corresponding to the touch point on the remote device.

4. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 3 , wherein the instructions to present the visual indication comprise instructions to present a circle representing a location in the user interface corresponding with the touch point on the remote device.

5. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein when in orientation mode, the machine-readable medium comprises instructions to present a contextual menu on the presentation device.

6. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein when in pass-through mode, the machine-readable medium comprises instructions to present a visual indication in the user interface corresponding to the touch point on the remote device.

7. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 6 wherein the instructions to present the visual indication comprise instructions to present a circle representing a location in the user interface corresponding with the touch point on the remote device.

8. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , comprising instructions to:

present a visual indication in the user interface corresponding to the touch point on the remote device; and

change an attribute of the visual indication based on whether the presentation device is in the orientation mode or the pass-through mode.

9. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 8 , wherein the instructions to change the attribute of the visual indication comprise instructions to change the color of the visual indication.

10. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to receive the input from the user to trigger the presentation device to transition from the orientation mode to the pass-through mode comprise instructions to receive a voice command to transition modes.

11. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to receive the input from the user to trigger the presentation device to transition from the orientation mode to the pass-through mode comprise instructions to receive a signal from a control on the remote device to transition modes.

12. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to receive the input from the user to trigger the presentation device to transition from the orientation mode to the pass-through mode comprise instructions to receive an indication the user touched a particular finger to the remote device.

13. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to enter the pass-through mode comprise instructions to provide a signal to the remote device to provide haptic feedback to the user indicating the transition to the pass-through mode.

14. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to enter the pass-through mode comprise instructions to provide a signal to the remote device to provide audio feedback to the user indicating the transition to the pass-through mode.

15. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the instructions to receive input from the user via the remote device comprise instructions to receive a gesture from the user, the gesture corresponding to an application or a function to be executed at the presentation device.

16. A system to provide remote multi-touch control, the system comprising:

a mode controller implemented at least in part in hardware, to enter an orientation mode for a user interface displayed by a presentation device, the orientation mode configured to allow a user of the presentation device to orient an input point on the user interface with a remote device; and

an input/output module implemented at least in part in hardware, to receive an input from the user to trigger the presentation device to transition from the orientation mode to a pass-through mode, the input comprising a message from a peripheral device that is separate from the remote device and operated by the user, the pass-through mode configured to allow the user to control an application at the presentation device using a touch point on the remote device;

wherein the mode controller is to enter the pass-through mode at the presentation device;

wherein the input/output module is to receive input from the user via the remote device; and

wherein the presentation device is to pass the input through to the application at the presentation device.

17. The system of claim 16 , wherein to receive the input from the user to trigger the presentation device to transition from the orientation mode to the pass-through mode, the input/output module is to receive a message from a peripheral device, separate from the remote device, to transition modes.

18. A method for remote multi-touch control, the method comprising:

entering, at a presentation device, an orientation mode for a user interface displayed by the presentation device, the orientation mode configured to allow a user of the presentation device to orient an input point on the user interface with a remote device;

receiving an input from the user to trigger the presentation device to transition from the orientation mode to a pass-through mode, the input comprising a message from a peripheral device that is separate from the remote device and operated by the user, the pass-through mode configured to allow the user to control an application at the presentation device using a touch point on the remote device;

entering, at the presentation device, the pass-through mode;

receiving input from the user via the remote device; and

passing the input through to the application at the presentation device.

19. The method of claim 18 , comprising:

presenting visual indication in the user interface corresponding to the touch point on the remote device; and

changing an attribute of the visual indication based the presentation device is in the orientation mode or the pass-through mode.

20. The non-transitory machine-readable medium of claim 1 , wherein the peripheral device is a ring.
