Method and system enabling natural user interface gestures with user wearable glasses

User wearable eye glasses include a pair of two-dimensional cameras that optically acquire information for user gestures made with an unadorned user object in an interaction zone responsive to viewing displayed imagery, with which the user can interact. Glasses systems intelligently signal process and map acquired optical information to rapidly ascertain a sparse (x,y,z) set of locations adequate to identify user gestures. The displayed imagery can be created by glasses systems and presented with a virtual on-glasses display, or can be created and/or viewed off-glasses. In some embodiments the user can see local views directly, but augmented with imagery showing internet provided tags identifying and/or providing information as to viewed objects. On-glasses systems can communicate wirelessly with cloud servers and with off-glasses systems that the user can carry in a pocket or purse.
