Abstract
A computer-implemented method for selecting a face among faces of a 3D object in a 3D immersive environment. Each face is oriented in the 3D immersive environment. The method comprises displaying the 3D object in the 3D immersive environment. The method further comprises detecting S20 a hand gesture. The hand gesture comprises an adduction of all fingers except thumb. The method further comprises determining an oriented plane formed with the palm and/or the back of the hand in the 3D immersive environment. The method further comprises identifying the face of the 3D object having the closest orientation with the oriented plane. This constitutes an improved method for selecting a face among faces of a 3D object in a 3D immersive environment using hand interactions.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for selecting a face among faces of a 3D object in a 3D immersive environment of a CAD system, each face being oriented in the 3D immersive environment, comprising:
- displaying the 3D object in the 3D immersive environment;
- detecting a hand gesture including an adduction of all fingers except thumb;
- determining an oriented plane formed with a palm and/or a back of a hand in the 3D immersive environment;
- and
- identifying the face of the 3D object having a closest orientation with the oriented plane.
A non-transitory data storage medium having recorded thereon a computer program including instructions allowing a computer to perform a method for selecting a face among faces of a 3D object in a 3D immersive environment of a CAD system, each face being oriented in the 3D immersive environment, the method comprising:
- displaying the 3D object in the 3D immersive environment;
- detecting a hand gesture including an adduction of all fingers except thumb;
- determining an oriented plane formed with a palm and/or a back of a hand in the 3D immersive environment;
- and
- identifying the face of the 3D object having a closest orientation with the oriented plane.
A system comprising:
- a display;
- and
- processing circuitry communicatively coupled with memory, the memory storing a computer program including instructions for selecting a face among faces of a 3D object in a 3D immersive environment of a CAD system, each face being oriented in the 3D immersive environment, that when executed by the processing circuitry causes the processing circuitry to be configured to:
- display the 3D object in the 3D immersive environment,
- detect a hand gesture including an adduction of all fingers except thumb,
- determine an oriented plane formed with a palm and/or a back of a hand in the 3D immersive environment, and
- identify the face of the 3D object having a closest orientation with the oriented plane.
