Abstract
Aspects for hand gesture activated commands in a virtual reality (VR), an augmented reality (AR), or a mixed reality (MR) system (collectively “visual enhancement system”) are described herein. As an example, the aspects may include recognizing hand gestures in front of a depth camera and performing one or more commands in response to the recognized hand gestures. The hand gesture activated commands may include performing operations such as initiating an application, terminating the application, opening a start menu, etc.
Claims22
A method of user interaction in a visual enhancement system, comprising:
- collecting, by a depth camera, a depth map of a hand;
- identifying, by a joint analyzer, one or more joints of the hand in the depth map;
- determining, by a gesture analyzer, a gesture of the hand based on the identified joints in the depth map;
- and
- in response to the determined gesture, performing, by a command response component, a corresponding operation.
A system for user interaction in a visual enhancement system, comprising:
- a depth camera configured to collect a depth map of a hand;
- a joint analyzer configured to identify one or more joints of the hand in the depth map;
- a gesture analyzer configured to determine a gesture of the hand based on the identified joints in the depth map;
- and
- a command response component configured to perform a corresponding operation in response to the determined gesture.
