Abstract

A system and method are provided to enable data entry into a computing system. The system may include a controller functionally coupled to an image acquisition device and adapted to set a map of an input key, or an entire keyboard layout, based on acquired image(s) captured by the image acquisition device. The system may capture images of user movements and/or gestures in a selected field of view, and may process these images to identify and execute commands in accordance with the movements.
