Position aware gestures with visual feedback as input method

A gesture based user interface is provided for a user to interact with a device in order to operate and control the device through detection of gestures and movements of the user. Visual feedback of the user gestures is provided to the user to aid in the user's operational and control decisions of a device. An image capturing device such as a video camera may be employed to capture a user's image, and an integrated application on a computing device may process continuous images from the capturing device to recognize and track user gestures. The gestures may correlate to an object and/or location on the display and the user's image may be projected on the display to provide visual feedback of the user's interaction.
