User interface control based on elbow-anchored arm gestures
User interface control based on elbow-anchored arm gestures is disclosed. In one aspect, there is provided a method of user interface control on a computing device based on elbow-anchored arm gestures. A visual user interface (VUI) screen is displayed on a display of a computing device. The VUI screen comprises a plurality of VUI elements arranged in a plurality of VUI element levels. Each VUI element level comprising one or more VUI elements. A spatial location of an elbow of an arm of a user and a spatial location of a wrist of the arm of the user are determined. A three-dimensional (3D) arm vector extending from the spatial location of the elbow to the spatial location of the wrist is then determined. A VUI element in the VUI screen corresponding to the 3D arm vector is then determined based on a predetermined 3D spatial mapping between 3D arm vectors and VUI elements for the VUI screen.
