These are now being published in the west as well.<\/p>\n<p>The first patent is about how objects\/user&#8217;s hand gets detected, whereas the other ones are more about the concept. The third is also similar to the second patent, but emphasizes how gestures\/distance can trigger vibration and sound output. Infrared camera and distance sensor, gesture recognition, and distance measuring are all a part of the patents. One example even includes a projector and GPS receiver.<\/p>\n<p><div\n\tclass=\"ngg-galleryoverview\"\n\tid=\"ngg-gallery-400860-1\">\n\n    \t\t<!-- Thumbnails -->\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"ngg-image-0\"
