A gesture component with a gesture library is described. The gesture component is configured to expose operations for execution by application of a computing device based on detected gestures. In one example, an input is detected using a three dimensional object detection system of a gesture component of the computing device. A gesture is recognized by the gesture component based on the detected input through comparison with a library of gestures maintained by the gesture component. An operation is then recognized that corresponds to the gesture by the gesture component using the library of gestures. The operation is exposed by the gesture component via an application programming interface to at least one application executed by the computing device to control performance of the operation by the at least one application.
